    Thats a fan, not a supercharger.

    It won't move enough air to provide any measurable boost, and at WOT its actually a restriction to flow.

    supercharger

    thats pretty much what I figured, I've got my eye on an alpine but don't want to install it myself (slightly out of my skills experience not to mention I don't know what specialty tools might be required) anyone know of a good place for this type of job in the indanapolis,IN area?
