I was milling around on ebay and came across some electric superchargers for the import cars. They talked like this would give some hp boost. Do you think this is worth trying or would this just restrict my air flow? I am always looking for that extra 5-10 hp!

Jason. I've seen these. The biggest difference here is that the import cars are fuel injected. If you try to force air through a carb, you most likely will loose the vacuum that's neede to draw the fuel in to the engine. That's why old carburated hot rod cars draw their air through the carb and don't blow in to it. Now if you could mount it between your carb and manifold, maybe you got something. Just theory here Jason. Not experience. Neat thinking though! If you did have vacuum, you would have to richen up enough fuel to burn. Make sence? Maybe just my 2 cents. Are Ram Air vehicles tuned a little different? Hmmmm. I don't know. If you experiment let us know!

Using a blow-through supercharger necessitates using a boost-referenced carburetor. Since regular carburetors operate using the difference in pressure between atmospheric and the lower pressure at the venturi, a regular carburetor has issues when it's subjected to a blow-through arrangment. Pull-supercharging is different, in that all you're doing is pulling more air through the carb, which allows the pressure differential to still make the carb work. There are also systems where the entire carburetor is enclosed in a housing that is pressurized by the boost from the supercharger.

Wasn't the 57 studebaker golden hawk with those(mcCulloch) superchargers, I believe it had the box the carb set down in with a top over it.

That could be, LW. I know nothing about Studebakers, other than some of them are pretty cool rides. I had recently read an article in Car Craft or Hot Rod about blow-through superchargers and boost-referencing, which is what brought it to mind. I also tend to agree that the electric supercharger is probably a gimmick. That's one of those deals where if it's so great, why the heck aren't they licensing it to the major car makers for installation on MILLIONS of cars, with all the attending royalties, instead of trying to move them one unit at a time?
