its actually conceived as an alternative to nitrous, hence the "usefulness" of the short bursts. like i said, read about it. its not what you are thinking, its not one of those that just goes into the intake piping, its much more complex. i'm not saying i want one, i'm just saying that there are electric superchargers that do work. you're telling me people wouldn't want a safe alternative to nos? didn't you have to have an srt-4? that car is one of the most common cars for nitrous.
