That fan draws 3 amps. My Amplifier draws 90. Enough said.

It is probably close to the actual airflow up through the engine bay when the lid is closed.

Re: What the ????
Found this browsing around, which seems to feature some dyno data.. no idea if it's valid info. Not enough power available from the existing electrical system so they went to a seperate battery bank!
ack, can't bookmark it so select 'esc electric supercharger'.

Sadly this isn't being rammed into the plenum like this mighty fan is doing,just think of all the BHP you're missing out on! Now if someone could come up with a way to somehow channel or funnel this air into the plenum,say with a side mounted scoop.. you'd be onto a real winner! Better still fit loads of fans along the entire length of the intake,the BHP is going to increase exponentially,lots of torques!
