leaf blower super charger?
This thought started while I was sitting in a friends garage and noticed his leaf blower had the tubing size about the same size of a CAI tube or close enough I could adapt it some how. Now my question is this. Has it been done? Could it be done? Would attaching the tip of the hose to the tube of your intake hose give you a good boost?

you would need an inverter to run it, and lots of space. I have never heard of someone running one on a Bonnie, I dont know if they are big enough to satisfy our engines.

Yeah... Ya know some people have real leaf blowers, you only need an inverter if it'* electric... Anyway, It would have to put out 450cfm juist to match the engine @6k, so 550cfm would be minimum. I've never seen a leaf blower that was rated that high.

I was thinking of a gas leaf blower. But my idea was to have a throttle line run to your gas peddle so when you pressed your peddle you would rev both engines. The only reason I brought this up because I have been thinking about doing it when I get my dream car (1996 Buick Regal). But even than I most likely would have get the supercharged model think its a GLS or something close.
