Chit, ya all is overbuildin the dang mouse trap again. Da fizix be simple. Dem muscle cars back in da day had ram air en iffin it worked for GM at 70 mph hour, then you only needs 70 mph air to done get boost. Bubba and JimBob done got one of dem electric cordless leaf blowers at tractor supply and on da box it said it blows air at 250 mph. So even a more-on knows dat 250 mph is a lot more boost den 70 mph. So whens dey put in on Bubba's unkles pickup truck, it done smoked dem tires and hualed azz. I swear to god my azz dyno sez its got more den twice the power it did before!!!

i watched a thing on top fuel dragsters recently. a stock 426 Hemi doesn't make enough power to run the blower on those 4 second dragsters. yes, 2000 hp from 600 some inches is an extreme case, but that gives you an idea how much it takes to pump air under pressure into an engine.

you seem to give a lot of incorect information,a nhra,or ihra top fuel car is limited to 500 cu in.they run 14.71 blowers,it is said that at 8000 engine rpm,the blower has 1200 hp parasitic loss.

i was guessing at 600 cu inches. sorry. 1200 hp to make 2-3000. so to make 5-600 it would take at least 25 to 50 hp? a little much for an electric motor?
