so i'm lookin for sum cheap mods and a found THIS (http://Alternatively, call 877-633-4469 CS1. Enter Mtg ID 1951 when prompted.Alternatively, call 877-633-4469 CS1. Enter Mtg ID 1951 when prompted.) what do you guys think?

Would help if the link actually worked... What is it?

*EDIT* - Based on your double post, you are referring to an electric supercharger.

sorry. it's an electric supercharger. here (https://tempestperformance.com/on-shop/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=1)

Let me just say that there isn't a single electronic supercharger that will have a positive benefit on a vehicle. To operate effectively, they would need to draw crazy amperage, drawing more horsepower than they'll make. The conversion from hp, to amps, back to hp will never work as efficiently as a conventional csc, s/c, or turbo.

thanks for the info. i feel stupid but, wats a csc?

Centrifugal Supercharger. No need to feel stupid.;)

well whats the difference between that and just a supercharger?

Here are the most basic comparisons that I could find:
(twin scew is my fav.)

Centrifugal Supercharger (http://www.coloradocobras.com/whipple/superchargers/centrifugal-superchargers.html)

TurboCharger (http://www.coloradocobras.com/whipple/superchargers/turbochargers.html)

Roots Type Supercharger (http://www.coloradocobras.com/whipple/superchargers/roots-superchargers.html)

Twin Screw Supercharger (http://www.coloradocobras.com/whipple/superchargers/twin-screw-superchargers.html)

whoa thanks man. but i have one more question. swart said it would draw too much amperage. but what if i just ran it to another battery?

You could do that, but what he meant is that, there is only so much those electric motors can take until they just burn into a little ball of melted plastic :D

that other battery would still have to be charged by an alternator.

Not to mention that the kit in the link is a glorified bilge pump from a boat or other such application. They are NOT meant for automotive air induction use. I highly doubt that they would be able to create a static dead-head pressure of 1psi on their own, let alone 1psi on an engine that normally pulls -10psi during normal operation.

Now in a perfect world, our 4.3L engines injest 0.1518531cu.ft. of air per 2 revolutions of the crank. So at 2000rpm, we are flowing ~152CFM of air. Now at 5000rpm, that balloons to 760CFM. Now due to pumping losses, pressure differentials, etc, we do not flow that much air, but... Now I stated this just to let you know what kind of flow is required. Something like that could NEVER supply that kind of volume. It would only end up as a restriction.

wow. thanks for all the info. def saved me about a hundred bucks. i'm just lookin for some cheap performance mods and that looked appetizing lol

Lol. No prob. Cheap performance mods? Unless it is used stuff or crappy stuff, cheap and good performance mods are hard to find. Intake, headers, exhaust, and reprogram ecu: i'd say about $1500. But, it's a great way to start getting some GRUNT out of these underpowered Blazers.

thanks man. reprogramming ecu?

ORIGINAL: jazzguitar

thanks man. reprogramming ecu?


yea...basically hooking up a tuner to it and letting it work its majic...you can adjust shift points, mess with a/f, and free up HP. Very nice

there is no cheap forced induction my friend-

i say-

Edelbrock TES headers/y-pipe
K&N intake
Ported TB
2.5" exhaust straight through
Remove cats and resonator
MSD coil/wires
Shift kit
3000stall torque converter
dyno tune- then cam/heads/valvetrain if you want some serious power n/a
