What's this about?

Would this really crank out that much more HP (says up to 20% on the bottom)? Just curious, I know there's a lot of b/s out there.

this is some of that BS. Heres what u do, go take a cheap walmart box fan and take the screen off it. let that bad boy spin up and then stick ur hand in there. U know what happens? it stops and u go "man, that was mildly uncomfortable!" something like that isnt going to have the cojones to build boost in your intake. Most of those things dont even spin fast enough to keep up with the air ur engine pulls naturally!

the average SC pulley is about half the size of a crank pulley, which means that every time the engine spins around once the pulley goes twice.at redline ur SC is spinning @ 12k rpm (rough figure, for 6k redline of course). I dont see any of these fans hitting those numbers, and those flimsy plastic blades cant force air like 2 big metal screws.
