RE: alternative supercharger
if your smart, you get alot done with 250. go to pepboys make your own cai then buy a throttle body bypass or air foil...you could buy a set of headers.....you could do alot with 250 depending on your application.

not alot you can do for real power with only 250. I prefer name brand parts because I can trust there is some R&D behind them. CAIs that have been slapped together without any testing can actually restrict flow, even if they filter is relocated.

There is more to forced induction then just "BOOST PRESSURE" First off Let me tell you its crap and it could hurt you more then it would help. WHY? because your 3.8 will probalyout flow the amount of air that little fan can force down your TB. Think about it do your realy think a little electric fan can breath more air then air then your engine. If you think so i challenge you to go out side hold your TB open around 3000 rpms and stick your hand in front of the TB and then come back and tell us if you think its flowing good. There are many factors that create "BOOST" (flow, PSI, Volume) plus other factors all have to be taken in to factor. for 250 bucks you could go to a muffler shop and have a good cat back made,buy a Y-pipe,Or pick up a lid and K&N filter and you would see better gains.

I will try and look for it, but the last forum I was in found an article on testing done for electric super chargers as opposed to just a CAI or even the stock. Basically it fell somewhere in between. It was better than the stock intake, and IF it had some sort of external power source , then it was as helpful as a CAI. However, the VERY little gain it had was actually cancelled out by the power it required to run the blower. Like was said before, you are better off taking the $150-$200 and getting the Cold Air Intake that is sold around on e-bay. I have heard they work pretty good (not as good as the $250+ K&N or other brand ones, but still not bad). They may not be the best, but you will see alot more gain out of them than you will out of this.
This is mostly my opinion, but I will try and find the actual numbers from the article, but I would not waste my money on it when there are so many other things to get. Over all get some cosmetic stuff done before spending money on an electric supercharger.
