Super E-RAM, electric supercharger
This sounds interesting, I am also looking for an equivalent to what a friend of mine has and its a programmer with software to tune his Firebird. If anyone knows where to buy it can you please let me know.
Thanks,

Does the impeller require some sort of oil line?

a rough estimate as far as boost power goes; at 1 atm. 14.7 psi is roughly equivalent to doubling the displacement of an N/A engine.
so a 3.2L is 195ci. at 14.7 psi you would have similar power of a 390ci motor but without the torque of a real 390 v-8 hmmm...we keep coming back to the AMX don't we, hahaha.

Hey Dynamics, did you ever find a flywheel? A while back were talking about it and I still want one. Any Help?

Haha, yeah I know when I first got mine, I found it really weird to shift.
3 months later I got this thing down, just have to memorize where the revs are at for each gear at all speeds. It takes awhile but you get used to it, now I kinda like the slow throttle, because it allows me to just jab the throttle quickly with my foot and it always seems like it knows what rpm to go too.

I bought the stern ST1s they are 10 lb lighters then the stock wheels. My car is an automatic and I would like to use it in the city and take it racing too.

I just called the guy and he actually has done one o this on a xfire and he got 5 lb of boost and about 75 HP. He offered the kit to me at $1,600 Then I got to get 2 batteries and custom pipes so all parts for $2,200. The labor is 15-20 hours from a competition audio shop at $40 hr = $800. So I am moving this topic to a different thread so we can discuss 75 HP at $3K.
