the e-ram, my experience Options

[celicaST]

ok, first off, this is NOT a thread to debate whether this product is beneficial or not (ill put that to rest soon enough). ive argued the idea of an electric supercharger on the other thread, so NONE of that here. plus i guarantee you will lose the argument this thread is to document my experience with this controversial product. i realize im taking a gamble, but for $300 i figured i might as well. i wouldnt have bought it unless i was confident it would work. this is what im getting for those who dont know. it is a 833watt, 25000rpm motor capable of delivering 800 CFM in free air
2006 e-ram
it will be installed between the throttle body and the existing stock airbox so as to retain cold air intake. so ill be the guinea pig, and i will post my honest impressions after installation. before you ask, i will dyno only if i can find one nearby, and for a good price. if youre so inclined for proof, feel free to paypal me the expense
also, if all goes well, i plan to run the motor at 16.2 volts to increase its power to 1135 watts to increase boost pressure.

How are you planning to prove to people if this thing does work? Are you saying people should just take your word for it or are you gonna show some testing results (i.e dyno tests, videos or your runs w/ and w/out the eram, or g-tech testings).

good question, although i would hope people would take my word for it, i know thats not the case. im not working for eracing and i wouldnt want anybody else to waster 300 bucks if thats what happens to me. i will look for a dyno around here, but i wont if it its too much of an inconvenience, im not here to please everyone else i will post speedometer videos of it disconnected/connected, and my review will be detailed. again im not expecting drastic performance increase, however, i believe for 300 bucks it will produce more gains than exhaust, headers, intake would. anybody coming to the colorado meet can try it for themselves (hopefully by then ill be running it at 16.2volts and 1135 watts). i dont have a g-tech. i will make an effort to get a dyno done, because im interested in the actual results myself.

Take your word for it? Surely, you don't expect people to do that. You sound very knowledgable in the scientific method. Can you imagine a scientist saying "I just found the cure to cancer but I can't demonstrate it to you - just take this pill - its only $300"?
