Does an air pump really move that much air? I've never measured one but with the inlet/oulet sizes I've seen on the ones I've messed with, around 1" or so, I can't imagine they would have enough volume? Just curious.

Has anyone messed with a powered 'hair dryer' concept? I have seen the so called "electric turbo" types, "E-Ram" or something that, which are a joke for a big engine but I have also seen a Youtube vid of a four cylinder car on a dyno with an actual commercial hair dryer (those used in the HVAC biz for melting frozen coils - very high volume) forcing air raise a few horses on the dyno. I'm sure they killed the heating coils in the dryer.

Of course finding a 12DC version (or a real long extension cord... lol ) might be difficult but sounds like something goofy to play with. You would have to do a blow through setup which might be an issue on these carbs. The video I saw was an EFI car so that wasn't an issue.

Just something different to dork around with. <shrugs>

protowrxs, A guy over on 4cycle.com put one on his modified homda 6.5 hp an it spun 10,000 rpms all day and never broke a rod.... The amount  of boost that thing was putting out was like 25psi - 35psi ....

Just because you move up in a class doesn't mean that you'll "loose" the "race", it just means that you're building a better, more capable machine.

Most of the eblowers cannot create 2 psi what kind is it? i smell bs. the fans are generally all marine bilge blowers. these will give you better acceleration, but only because the engine has 'air on demand' instead of having to draw it in using vacuum. most hondas 4 cyl are thought to handle 250+ hp and many dont redline  until 9k, so 10k isnt that impressive. i'll have to look intothe hairdryer thing
