I cant believe how much these people must be making off of these POS's. I dont know if mike remebers, but i remeber back when we had our 'ricer' cars, we actually thought of taking a fan and putting it at the end of the intake pipe. DAMN!! we should have marketed that.
thats actually a pretty good idea...i mean if you think about it these jackasses are making millions by selling something that "creates a rush of air" so whos to say that making something that forces a rush of air into a motor wouldnt sell just as well? I mean, of course it would be just as big a rip off, but hell these people making millions off the same concept

well the thing is, that its already been made and sold. They are called electric superchargers, which is basically just a small fan where the filter is. There was a kid with a celica near me that used to have one. Pretty damn retarded

so they dont work at all? cause in theory it doenst sound like a bad idea...i mean same general concept as a supercharger...air is being rushed into the engine...but then again i dont see a fan really doing all that much "rushing".
