This is vaguely a follow up on my Wow!! post of a while back. (The cause
of which has now worn off and I am more or less back to more conventional
stuff... like finding a place to rebuild my TR6's rear hubs.)
Last weekend after too much hockey and too much beer my TR6 owning friend
and I went into his basement to play table tennis. (Sad eh?) That took
about twenty seconds to get boring when I spotted the electric leaf blower
hanging on the wall and pondered whether or not a leaf blower mechanism
w/o the motor could be run off of a pulley in the engine bay and used as a
low boost supercharger. As I said this was after too much beer to even
think about touching a car.
Point being, how much air pressure/volume/whatever does the average
supercharger or turbosupercharger spit out? As compared to a leaf blower? :)
What class would a Black & Decker stick you in SCCA? VTR?

any coherent thoughts whatsover so there!!!
