lol, its funny 
I remember reading a writeup on one of my superchargers on how much pressure it takes to spin a charger in order to make any type of boost and to think that a 2lb electric motor powered fan would make any difference is just funny. the second one (didnt read it) is probably a fancy "resistor" type device to trick the ecu that colder air is coming in so thats where the 'maybe' comes in hand, but you're talking very minimal and unnoticeable gains. However I will go on record and say that there IS an electric supercharger in the makes that makes 5lbs of boost (the last time I read on it) but it costs just as much as a turbo or belt driven charger and isnt expandable. and iirc it weighs a grip... again when I was reading on it, it was still in the makings.

Woah Really! Thanks for the advice I ordered 10 right now, I'll couple them up all over the car to get an extra 1000 + hp and 800+ torque, this is going to be one super up hell machine.
Hell when I'm at it, I'll take the rear seats, and attach a quad turbo to the engine.
Back on topic. Thanks, just wondering since I know you can do the srt intake with chip, and the cold air intake to help. But hasn't heard of these much.

Well hey, the concept is there Theres a guy on youtube who put his truck on a dyno and put a leaf blower on his intake and was able to gain more power! LoL, threw nitrous in the leaf blower and gained a shtiload more LoL

Oh HECK yes.
The Electric SUPERCHARGER is the way to go.
In a typical application you get a real world 20% bump in power.
The trick thing to do is run them in series.
Get a few of them - and put them together end-to-end.
The Blower is only about an inch think so space is not an issue.
So get five.
In about 30 minutes - you'll double the power of you car.
But then you need to upgrade the drive train - all that power will shred your drive shaft and rear-end.
Good luck !

I would say that little fan would probably feel like a decent breeze on my hand -- 3psi in my engine...? Nah. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. But, if you find 3rd party info to back it up, give it a shot! I personally wouldn't waste the $.

The other reason is that the motor transfers heat... no way in hell this thing works NO!
Not entirely true, I doubt the motor will produce any more heat than the air tempeture traveling through the intake manifold. However, I doubt you will see any real power gains and will actually loose power because the fan is only activated at WOT, therefore affecting daily drivability.
