These will actually produce about 5mmHg of pressure; they do flow enough air to keep up with an engine of our size. Of course 5mm of mercury is very little pressure, somewhere around 2psi. Which might actually do something after all, come to think of it. (here I am trying to debunk it, and it's not working...ugh)
I'll head down to my local West Marine and pick one up for $20 and see if it works worth a crap...hehehe this oughtta be fun. If nothing else it's a good excuse to race everything in sight. I saw a pic of some dude with an old BMW, he cut a hole thru his hood and strapped a leaf blower on there. If I can find it I'll post a link to it...useless but still funny. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Russell Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 9:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SPOC] Anyone seen anything like this?? this guy can't even spell or write correct grammar.
