problem is that it's not a variable speed electric motor...it runs full bore from the time it's on so it's lean the lower the rpm and gets to normal at wide open throttle so you dont gain anything...

Not only is it not variable, I can't believe that it has the ommph required to positively pressurize the intake like a turbo or super charger does, which would net a 0.0 increase in.... anything... Hey, for $45 bucks, you can do a new coil or something that will have real benefits...

It will make you $45 lighter in the wallet, that could make you faster.
