Funny thing, I just read in the last couple of months in either chevy hiperformance, or super chevy magazines, where they took 2 215 mph leaf blowers and mounted them on a vette i believe. They said the setup worked to a point. Check theyre websites, bet you can find the article. Good luck with it.

LOL. This is a old U-car or mini stock trick. Some times guys would try this and on the right application it might pick up a few horses. However on our cars i dont think its going to have any real gain. If you had a strong enough "blower" and a small enough engine then yes it may actually produce boost. But your going to need one hell of a blower to do it. As displacement and RPMs increase your demands for air are also going to increase so you will need more air flow or (CFM) and more pressure (PSI) to keep up with the demand.
