I heard about an electronic supercharger as a cheap way to add 45 HP to my car.. I havent been around cars very long (only like 10 years), and I dont know much about them.. I was raised where we only had horses, so Im still new to cars..

no they are absolutely a fraud. The compression needed to push air into the engine (measured in cfm) is way higher than a little fan can provide. It has been proven by many car enthusiast that they do not work. Some of these superchargers only push 500 cfm where as (with out going completely technical) an engine revving at 6000 rpms with a 14:1 air to fuel mixture would require substantially more air. Not only do they not increase horsepower but they decrease since they can not keep up with the engine air coming in that it acts as a restricter. If thats not enough proof, get someone to rev your car at 5000rpms and feel how much exhaust is being pushed out of your car, then buy your supercharge turn it on and feel how much air that can push. You will find that the car can push way more air than the supercharger alone.
