instead of getting another issue of modified/ super street magazines (makes my school day alot faster lol) I bought ultimate buyers guide 09 and across the E-ram-ultra 2.5psi electric supercharger (filter cone with wirings).. just want to see what you guys think about it.

Yeah electric superchargers with exception to the thomas knight setups are pretty much worthless. The one you found is like the polished turd amongst regular turds. I haven't read any real negative reviews on this unit. Is 3-5hp worth making your car sound like a vacume cleaner? There is another unit, I forgot the name but thier from australia that has something similar to this unit but has a brushless motor that spins alot faster then the e-ram. I dont think these are worth anyones time, maybe one day when technolgy advances in this area.

I would still look towards the flux capacitor idea... Stick one in the dash, sync it with an iPhone, cruise to 88mph...

Oh yeah, time travel...
