That rather funny cause I talked to a guy who thought he could use an electric fan from a wet vac as a blower with some drier hose.......I'm not joking

Ok serious question now....

Now obviously that little 3?? cfm fan ain't going to help none.

Is there a fan that would give enough boast to overcome it's weigh and drain on the electrical system?

I'm thinking in theory and am NO WAY thinking about it.

As some of you guys may realize I am smarter than that and somethimes just like to know usless crap :D

Actually I put a Toro leaf blower(1150cfm)on my 90 civic in Anchorage before I moved here to Arkansas.It worked ok. It was more of a experament than anything. I used a relay to actuate a starter solonoid to intern carry the high voltage battery pack to the electric motor.The added weight was about 35lbs. but my G-tech meter didn't lie. I only shaved 1-2 tenths off my 0-60mph.I think it's cause the leaf blower works off the same principal that a blow-drier does. If you put your hand over the end of a blowdrier thw air wont force your hand off. You see were I 'm going here? I think in theory that the only way that I made the minescule power gains that I did was due to the leaf blower ellevating some of the vaccum in the intake components, allowing it to breath more freely.

to get something like that to work, you would have to move more air than is normally moved

i'm not sure what it was to be honest
I just know it had to be a recording or something cause the "turbo" "spooled" up at the redlight, not once but twice
I tried getting the guys attention but he never looked around
