Have any of you wondered why all of these things all refer to the cfm of the blower unit and not the psi produced.

that's cus cfm (cubic feet per minute) are easy to achieve with no back pressure.
It's producing cfm at pressure that creates power.
Your naturally aspirated engine probobly pulls in air at not only a faster rate than these things could blow it in but at higher pressure as well.

the pretty little fan may spin in an open invironment but once it's closed the electric motor it is powered by has NO chance of spinning at all. It's my guess that if you installed one of these and went to a dyno you'd find a SIGNIFICANT LOSS of power. Electric motors (much like honda's) don't produce any amounts of torque with out serious gearing mods they simply spin fast.

would you attempt to stop the blades a turbo compressor wheel with your hand? no cuz it would rip your fingers off faster than you could say "my name is 1 finger jack"

would you attempt to stop the blades of an electric fan with your tongue? ya and if you've been watching dave letterman's stupid human tricks you know that not only is it possible but it happens pretty fast.

IN SHORT ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SPEND THEY'RE HARD EARNED MONEY ON ONE OF THESE THINGS. PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF THE HASSLE AND SEND THE MONEY TO ME AND I'LL COME TO YOUR HOUSE AND EITHER POP YOUR TIRES OR KICK YOU IN THE NUTZ.
