Well after looking at some dyno charts they have i guess it works but i have my doubts. It says that it has over 10hp increase on some cars.

well, sitting here, here are my 2 cents..
pro's 1. forcing air into intake, and not actually heating it up at all. 2. power only when you need it cons 1. if it breaks, you have plastic (?) parts flying into your engine.. 2. hp worth several hundred dollars? 3. cant really brag about it... or i wouldnt atleast... i wouldnt get it, but still curoius as to drag results or something... |

Wow look at that thing, i think my computer has a bigger fan. The thing that really makes me curious is this ESC from www.boosthead.com. In the June 2004 issue of Turbo Magazine they did a write up on it and is seems very impressive. It's basically for anyone who would use nitrous otherwise, but wants to save money in the long run by not having to refill bottles.
The ESC actually uses 3 small motors mated to a roots-style blower, looks very interesting. And it's about 2 grand. it claims it can add up to 75 hp for 15 second bursts, good tool for running down the 1320.
