twin superchargers??

hey i was talking to my friend about easy performance mods that i could do to my 97 3.8.... while we were talking he said that his brother has an electric supercharger on his truck and it added 19 hp at the wheel

so i had an idea... the slp intake for the 3.8 has dual filters... so i was thinking get 2 electric superchargers and put them on the end of that...

I kno it's a cheap thing to do but hey, i'm low on cash and it is a legit hp boost...... maybe it'll work..


i was just wondering what your thoughts were on this...

electric supercharges cost power, the only way it would add is if the stock intake duct was collapsed shut, they can't spin fast enough, and have been proven to be a 100% scam (every real dyno run lost on average 20 hp) all they are is a leaf blower motor

well arch, all blowers cost power...whether its driven off of the crank or the alternator, its taking power to make power.

'Twin' superchargers in any respect is a bad idea. Electric superchargers are just plain stupid. Save your money for an ATI.

Two low power blowers, blowing into the same tube would probably be counter productive anyhow.

they actually lower the power over them not being on the car, a real supercharger makes power (they have parasitic loss of course)
