The only one that works is the thomas knight supercharger and it runs off batteries. Very expensive and you can only use it for 15secs or so until it recharges.

Rep Power: 787 Well he justifies it by saying you're only gonna be accelerating 10-20secs in a race anyway. It's too much money tho and I think it needs more batteries in the trunk.

Well that's also what they say with nitrous.. It's bad for your car after about 15 seconds, and on average a race lasts around 10 seconds..

i think 15sec is good enough, and better than NOs since u don't have to refill, haha. btw, how much gain did he get out that thing?

ESC™ weighs only 42 lb. At just 13 lbs each, a bank with four Odyssey 680 batteries adds another 52 lbs. That's 94 lb in total. In comparison, a full turbo kit can easily weigh 90-100lb, while most belt-driven superchargers weigh 70 lbs. As you can see, this "extra weight" is in the same range as any other aftermarket system. Plus, no parasitic loss means greater horsepower, so our ESC™ more than makes up for the difference.
