Ever used an electric supercharger?

does this sound right? nope, it sure does not.

Hi,

Yes, we do have an electric supercharger to fit your 1991 Honduh Civic b16 swap.

You can expect 0-negative 10 HP and no FT/LBS gains on average when using
our supercharger for that vehicle.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Regards,
Leroy - Customer Service

just sounds too good to be true. no fewer than 72 bucks?

We've had a thread about this before... too bad it won't work correctly. And nothing better than driving till the extention cord pulls out of the wall.

EDIT...

My bad. I should have done a search. Thus makes sense.
I should just go with a 351, or a 383.
I like the sound my l28, and it only has 70k on it, but I am running out of options. Turbo, or V8 is my dilema.

Hey....HEY!!!! Check it out...V8's will put alot of Tq down at low rpms in most cases and can make alot of cars a pain to drive in wet weather....the turbo L28ET kicks in the boost at about 3,000 rpm so if you drive it like a sane person and stay out of the boost in wet weather you should be safe, not that it cant be done with a V8 but its harder I bet in a light weight Z with the gear ratios we have. You never know when you will get stuck in the rain. As for the Ford vs Chevy engine...I think the 351 will sound better but not much beats a stroker small block Chevy

electric superchargers dont do squat they will most likely RESTRICT airflow, a leaf blower on the other hand
