jesus. the video of the little beast levitating itself off the ground was pretty cool though, or pushing a duraflame log!!!
seems to me the amperage draw on the alternator alone would eat up your horsepower gain. that and having it installed but not 'on' would absolutely restrict air flow to the intake pipe...

a leaf blower would push air into the engine so yeah it would work, but with the time it would take to set up it isn't worth it, you wouldn't get any kind of measureable gain that you would be able to "feel". besides that would look so gay. i can hear it hear it now..... check out my twin leaf blower setup, i run 10s now.

can y'all imagine what kind of power that little electric blower would produce on a little tiny displacement briggs engine!!! you'd need a deep cycle to run it, but man oh man....it's 1# boost on a large displacement engine, i wonder what kind of boost it would be on a little 100cc monster...
gay? hell yes it'd look gay. who do you think came up with this idea? rice? ya think so? i'd bet money on it.

no shit, i mean those guys looked like they are seriously willing to back up their claims.
since you have a new application for their product, i'll bet they'd cut 100 bucks out of the cost if you got them a dyno slip.
