I just got done modifying a blower that came off of my boat and tried it on my 99 sub and I have to say that it definitely worked. The first time I floored it my tires started smoking and then snap bang bang bang, I snapped my brand new brute u-joint at the rear axle. I have never snapped on of these u-joint before. I had to limp home on the front axle. Now my wife is taking my head off about yet another repair. The first time I started the truck I had way to much boost, it blew the pvc hose right off, had to tone it down and finally with a little tweaking finally got it right. About 8 psi boost at wide open throttle. If anyone wants to do the same and I'll give you the make. Lets put it this way, I was a non believer when my friend suggested it, and electric supercharger, mind you that mine fed 2 ford 302's for a marine app.

It is an electric blower motor designed to force air into the dual chevy engine compartment. The motor is available at most marinas. It is a 20hp 12v blower. I run a dual battery and high amp alt and still puts a huge drain on at idle. Just remove the air cleaner box and make a bracket to support the motor. Obviously put the exhaust end towards the intake and then find a way to connect them. I used a 4" connector off of my boats exhaust and then run a 4" pipe down the inner fender under the bumper and then I just used two zip ties to hold my k&N filter and then just slide the pipe into the filter and there you have it. The only thing left is to decide whether you want to put it on a switch or hook it into a switched 12v source. I will try to get the name brand of the blower for you. I can't read it on mine but it was oe on my boat.
