The high end electric ones do work, but are crazy expensive and are only designed for short run use (kind of a replacement for NOS).

Yes they replace the battery in the car and use some high voltage batteries that dump during WOT (and recharge very quickly when not WOT). Will run you over $1000 for one that works. The phantom I think is just an electric motor powering a turbo fan which is driving air into the intake. Its getting decent reviews. There was one at our 86 meet last weekend, but of course I didn't learn of it until the next day or I would have asked for a ride damnit!

Except that is not what he was reffering to. He even provided a link you totally ignored to be a jerk.
