Default Electric Supercharger

I just bought a Venom 400 for my civic and everyone says it dumps a bunch of fuel in and just runs rich because there’s not enough air to compensate. I saw an electric turbo blower that clamps in between the throttle body and the cold air. Do you think this will actually work and give it some more horse power???????? Here is one of the auctions. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT. Let me know what you think. I have a 99 Civic DX with some extras it should handle it fine. I’m just lookin for some cheaper horse power.

NO! Please don't. Sell the Venom to an unsuspecting consumer, like yourself. If you are going to add extra air, do it with a supercharger or turbo. And even then, the venom wouldn't be a good idea.

Electric superchargers don't work.
