it sounds good its just the way he puts it there is a serious drain on the electrical system.........and its more like a nitrous system than it is a supercharger........and the fact that it cant be run constantly just sucks. i dunno about you guys but if there was a way to run a low boost of say 30 horses consistently, and then track days bump it up to 70 that you can do on runs and then recharge it that seems more realistic to me. id be happy with a 30 horse gain that i could constantly use that maybe only activated at WOT compared to having this and once you use it, gotta let it recharge..........like set it up with switches to where you can turn two motors off and run 1 for a 30 horse constant setting, flip a switch and its set of 70 horse short span runs.......

tell me what u guys think
ok, first of all there's really no SIGNIFICANT strain on the electrical system. during "boost" the alternator is bypassed. and during recharge the military spec batteries he uses only pull from the alternator what the alternator can put out.

yes, it's more like nitrous, and i'm pretty sure i said that.

your idea also sounds good... 30hp constant, 70@full drain. and it doesnt seem unrealistic. maybe he'll take this idea into consideration.
