You aren't talking about that "Tornado" thing, are you?

These are just gimicks. Don't waste your hard earned money on them.

They cause more restriction than they help. They have no way to power properly to spin fast enough to supply the proper amount of air to give boost.

Run a belt to it from your crank pulley.

Wrong section too. You would have been closer putting it in forum info.

Before I get criticized, I understand WHY this SuperCharger is junk.
BUT, I see why strypergt was asking about it. Just looking at it and reading about it, it really does sound like good idea. Heck, I know large commercial buildings sometimes use fans in the duct work to assist the with moving air (as a blower on a furnace sometimes needs a little assistance.
I'm not supporting the product, BUT I wonder if there is a low cost way to build a RELIABLE and performance gaining product with a fan in the air snorkel....

Though, I'm sure if there was, ZZP, Intense and a few others would already be doing it.
