So obviously you think these guys are full of it: http://www.electricsupercharger.net/ Granted most electric superchargers have nothing to do with efficiency. Just pure power to pass anything but a gas station. Also the Chevy vortec engine series was so called because of the intake manifold which was designed to create more air swirl (vortices!) which increased efficiency slightly. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
