anything that has silly power claims are usually crap (for example a K&n will give 2-3bhp max).. If these really worked the big makers would fit them to all car's but as the millions they spend on r&d each year haven't come up with something similar I say there cack!!

In theory it would work... some one put a civic on a rolling road and used a leaf blower .. it actually gained something like 4/5 bhp....  Obviously those little electric things would have enough power to make a diffrence  :grin:  But if you fancy pulling arround a petrol generator and have a leaf blower sticking out ya bonnet...  :wink:
