Default Thomas Knight ESC (electric supercharger)

http://www.boosthead.com/product.php

Has anybody heard of this take on the electric supercharger? From the looks of it this guy seems to have found a way for it to work.
I did a search for this but didnt turn up anything, so if im double posting sorry.

What do you think ?

Numbers seem wacky, I'm skeptical too. You figure that with the "instant 20psi" it creates, you'd see more than a 75hp gain.

i know they work, but their boost figures are probably exaggerated.

MOTHERF#CKER. I just got done with the blueprints of mine. Same concept, but only one electric motor. DAMN HIM!!!!

It'll work, but I was going to use a centifugal(sp?) S/C to have the efficiency as well as "free" instant boost. Thanks for pointing out this to me.


free- as in, not steal physical, or causing extreme back-pressure.
