 Like I said in the original.. GIVING YOU THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT
 (for example) which I don't.. =


 I think it's all B.S... and I'm not the only one.. so if you're
 such the innovator, take out a patent!

Mr Wizard , why the insults, I have the dyno sheets., a guy at Frey racin=
g
sees the car , rolls it on the dyno, runs the car.
15 min later, we run the car with the fans on.   Dyno reads 3-4% gain.   =

Run the car again, no fans , HP matches original run, by 1 hp.
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I AM MISSING.

I guess i will give up discussing the physics with you .  I understand th=
e
thermal concepts, I used them in the formula when i decided to do this
project and for the amout of compression, it was not a big factor, when
dealing with .35 psi.   and relieving the airbox of its vacuum of .5 psi.=


When I thought of all the HP lost at altitude in little air planes and th=
e
manifold pressure drop due to density altitude, I wondered what the gains=

would be if we could pressurize the air box slightly, and at least rid th=
e
air box and duct work of all of their inefficiencies.   Since , some of t=
he
cool air manufacturers were claiming  5-10 hp for air filters with smooth=

inlet tubes, i figured that a powered , efficient fan may do the trick.  =

after testing the air box for vacuum on the  freeway, I was amazed with t=
he
level of vacuum found in it at high rpms.    so , I started opening thing=
s
up.   no help.   when I hooked up thefan, the vacuum was relieved. when I=

used a bigger fan, i got a slight pressure gain.   Took some calculations=

of a turbo  situation, and plugged in my numbers.   I figured, it may be
worth 10 or so hp.   when I went to the dyno, I was excited to see the
first print out of the ERAM system working and giving 4% gains.

ever since then, it has been on the car  , at the track and on the street=
=2E =

   No problems,  a little hp, and lots of interest.  ( some laugh, and mo=
ck
what they dont truely understand)

If you want, Ill plug it into the  formula and send it to you off line, b=
ut
the bottom line is that IT WORKS.   =
