K&N Electric SC

Has anybody tried putting two K&N Electric Superchargers on their car in conjunction with a CAI? If K&N's claims are accurate, that would be around 45hp for around $700 (counting the CAI). If I'm being retarded please feel free to bash.

Thoughts?

i wanna call scam on this. I doubt the electric motor would have the power to push air into the plenum in a way similar to a supercharger. A blower can spin ~50k rpm. There is no way an electric motor (of that quality) could spin that fast and push air in with enough pressure. IMO save for a real sc from gtm

The only reason I even give this a shred of credit is that I tend to trust K&N. My father, who ran his drag bike in the low 9's back in the day, swears by them.

Nevermind ya'll.. I should've done my research before posting.. The site I found claimed the product was from K&N, but it's actually just some bogus company that put a K&N filter on their BS product. Sorry for wasting everybody's time, I guess if it sounds too good to be true it always is.

Electric supercharger threads are always full of win whenever they creep up. Adding a Turbonator will double the HP output.
