First of all, learn how to post, at least post it in the right forum. Does this section looks like somewhere u can post this kind of question?

Second of all, theres a god damn search button on the top of the site. use it

Stack 5 of them in a row on the intake side and put another 5 in reverse on the exhaust so you will have negative backpressure.

Good stuff man.

short answer - no . May do something on a 1000 cc shopping cart but the 8 flows way too much air to make any electric system viable .

250CFM adds 15-hp? Are they kidding? The stock radiator fans pull 5 times more CFM.

An electric supercharger is a major restriction in intake flow. It takes so much rpm to create boost that no electric motor that weights under 5lbs can do it, much less run on 12 volts.
