Why spend thousands of $ on a supercharger when you can buy this for US$69 and
get 35hp.:)

I wish I'd seen that before I spent thousands on a JRSC.

You don't seriously think that this could have any effect on a modern
engine?

Notice the claims 0-35hp gain. I'd guess that all installations on
modern fuel injected motors are around the 0hp mark.

Right up there with those stupid electric superchargers that look just
like computer cooling fans.

This looks fantantic. How wonderful to get such a good return in horsepower terms for such a reasonable outlay. I suspect they may be an even better bet than go-faster stripes or a new set of mags. I bet they sell magnetic insoles for your shoes as well...

I was being facetious, I suspect that the power 'gain' may even be negative.
There's nothing like an extra restriction in the intake to boost power.

There are a bunch of 'emoticons' to indicate the tone of an email.
:-Q or :P (tongue in cheek) or similar is the one you probably wanted
to use.

:) B^) indicate that this post is not intended to cause offense.
