Post Electric Supercharger?

With all the discussion on supercharging, I found the following company that is promoting an electric 1.7psi booster. Has anyone seen this? With the stock high compression ratio this would appear to be a "safe" boost for the dollar. The K&N with tube usually costs $125 so for double the money you minimize effeciency losses in the system. The information does not spell out the pressure head that the axial fan can over come. Comments? electric supercharger

Dear Mark,
I would recommend you go read about this in the archives from two years back and then take cover with Nomex suit on,
Ciao,

PS: If you are going to supercharge, use a real one. Or just mount a hairdryer in the airbox. Works about the same and is much cheaper. Just tough on the AA batteries.
