No but I've known people who have used similar products. I suggest you stay away from them. You'd be better off with the motor from a leaf blower.

Its a gimmick. Some people lose horsepower cause the damn fan does not blow faster than the engine can suck. Especially on a 11:1 compression engine. At 9000 rpm, the engine sucks hard.

I think the S2000 would ingest that electric supercharger at about 8300 rpms. Bad for the combustion chambers.

Did anyone notice that the manufacturer doesn't even say how many cfm of airflow it produces? Instead, he talks about how many watts of electricity is required to produce 1/2 psi of pressure. Now, I'll admit that I'm no electrical wizard, but I don't see how watts relates to cfm or hp.

Watts is a measurement of power, just like H.P. One H.P. equals 746 watts. A S2000 produces 179,040 watts of power.
