Look here: http://www.electricsupercharger.com/images/dyno/eRAM1.pdf
Straight to the point.
1 - We could use another person to test this part, $600 or call Mike at e-Ram and get him to sponsor you if you go to shows.
2 - I can do a dyno and probably no one will believe it.
3 - You can realize that there are not many parts for the xfire. So choose this part for you or not! People are expending 4K to get to pick up 3/4 of a second.
Quote:“to pick up 3/4 of a second for 4k is cheap. Go buy a race car and try to pick it up that much for similar money. (https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=12360&page=2 post #12)”. Crazy in my opinion!
So it just makes sense to give it a try, it does not hurt the car’s performance or looks, if you are concerned about you wallet the “pimp out your ride” thing, is not for you. I hope I'm not crossing the line in any way from what I wrote sorry!
Psuperti has a great point everyone on here can be so negative there is always something and no one wants to believe anything its getting old. I understand that Psuperti made some waves with some of you guys for posting his cars estimated horsepower. And giving a form of proof through manufactures dynos but big deal ITS HIS CAR there is no reason to sit and rag on everyone who posts something new that they have found or tried. I don't care if a manufactures intended gains are false or not I realize thats not the right way to gauge horsepower but If he posted a Dyno you guys would be right there to say he made it himself. DO you honestly think he is on here lying to guys about being able to feel a little extra boost from this electric supercharger. MY QUESTION IS WHY WOULD HE some may say to justify spending the $600.00 on it but thats not logical. WE all realize this is a site to help eachother out and most of us who are looking for that common goal. Getting just alittle bit of edge over the next guy. IF YOU ALL WANTED TO RUN 12's or even 13's you bought the wrong car AND YOU KNOW YOU DID. I sure as hell would have bought something like a turbo eclipse something there a dime a dozen ugly but they HAVE ALMOST EVERY PART POSSIBLE AVAILABLE THROUGH AFTERMARKET and most of the pieces are bolt on hp. We bought this car CAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT TO BE THAT CAR OR THAT GUY WITH THE WING, BODY KIT THAT DOESN'T MATCH OEM, AND SLICKS IN THE FRONT. I'm sorry if I offended anyone but that's not me on the other hand I do respect the true tuners who can get huge hp gains out of a 2.0L. Bottom line If he is telling you something that he feels works take it for what its worth. There were so many people in the beginning who bashed the Sprint Booster saying there is no way it works there is no way the throttle can open up anymore (which it doesn't) and its the same as slamming down on the gas everytime you get in save your $250. AND those who have it can feel a difference weather or not there is a hp gain. Most of you did the same thing when cryil posted about his voltage regulator. All I'm saying is its old and im tired of reading 4 pages of how someone is full of **** because they don't want to try it or there is no proof. THE whole reason for this site is to talk to other people about things that work and things that improve your car. I don't know what else to say besides If HDDP was researching it and looking at it first that should say it all. It should still open up the question of does it work but at the same time you should be leaning towards possibly. I leave you with this video.
