Hey S/D, you've got it. The blower forces more air in the intake, and combined with more fuel you make more power.

Concerning the electric motor idea, I kinda doubt it would work well. That is, the Vortech requires 20+ hp to operate, so you'll need a fan with a motor that's at least as big as 20 hp. Given the space constraints and the alternator's capacity, I don't think it's logistically possible. I've heard a lot of people with the same idea, but I don't think anyone has gotten it to work yet.
