Yeah superchargers work if you want to spend the $150 from technology that was made 5 years ago and then have to replace your engine. If superchargers were so great, the pros would use them to race and there would be a demand for them. See these videos of one in action on a motor with and without and watch what happens. Pure GARBAGE!

People people people, what is drag racing, NOISE AND BLING AND SPEED, get a big block then, and super charge it.
There is no debate.THEY WORK.Absolute fact. Not by compressing the cylinders air, as mostpeople missunderstand, but by scavenging, superior !
It will absolutely make any engine go faster, and stronger. Around 10% usually.`You can get gains of 30% with the right induction fan replacement and tuned exhaust .
Anyways its a blingy thing, for those who love the noise, little extra power, but they are dear, never said they were not.
Every nitro driver that ever saw mine, turned there head, EVERY one of em.
The little Inferno was a rocket !
Mine was on a 4.6cc engine.
Mine got destroyed in a roll over crash, another bad point about em.
But l cannot say it sucked, it rocked.
lm now looking at the induction units that bolt onto the HPI baja , with the CY 26cc engine.
Should be interesting, from what l read they work well too.
All the nitro turbo engines l ever used, seemed to be crap.The turbo doesnt actually work.And how can it !
The superchargers however, are just a blower fan, it cannot, not work ! hahaha
PS. forgot, you all should hear a supercharger on a nitro, at TOPrev screaming past, all you nitro drivers that always argue, love the smell and sound, just dont know what your missing !
Beware , conrods in danger if you put one on a TRX 3.3 !
