Might as well hook up a Leaf Blower, then spray NOS into the vent on the side of the leaf blower!!! The throttle would be your "Boost Controller"!!!

Yeah Man!!!

My Tuner shop is Home Depot!!!
Check out some of the home depot cars!!!

not that exact one but i do know of a roots style electric blower and it actually worked. i watched it on the dyno and the damn thing make 5 psi through out the range and actually added 30 hp, now im not saying its a good idea since i could sense the electric motors would probably only last a few thousand miles max but it did work. then again it costs 5k for the which i wouldnt be able to justify it since a turbo can be had for less and that it takes a decent plot of land to fit.

Too much electric mumbo jumbo!!!!!
Keep it simple. suck, squish, bang, blow!!!!

So you can get 50hp out of a four popper!!! You only need two alternators, Four (or more) batteries...oh and three miles of 4 gauge cable...yea all thats pretty lightweight!!!

Get a Turbo, use some Funny Gas if you must!!!!
Keep the blow dryer in your woman's bathroom!!!
