it is possible. they run about 100 bucks. its not a leaf blower but it will get you 30 hp. it comes with a switch to acticate at full throttle. just look up electronic superchargers.

No way.. just put a filter over the intake of the leaf blower and a power converter and your in business...!.. hehe have a cable mounted to the gas pedal so that after half throttle it pulls the trigger on the blower.. it would be sweet BOOST!!!!!! LMAO

yea its possible, we did one at the shop a few months back.....gotta love when bordesim kicks in

so we took my buddies Honda civic and hooked up a power inverter and mounted the craftsman leaf blower in the engine bay, welded up a quick 45* pipe for the intake to the blower and took hood off and drove it, and damn what a gain it made
