Has  anybody here had any experience with electric superchargers as per  the

It seems almost too good to be  true.




And there is a good reason for that. It is. But auxiliary  superchargers do 
work. HotRod Magazine did a great story on adding  leaf-blowers - (gas 
powered) as add-ons to a mid-eighties Corvette. These were  big-time blowers. 
One mattered and two (in parallel) mattered more.  Check it out:

and the sound  must have been awesome!
