Default supercharging at a fraction of the cost

I’ve done some research about electric superchargers. Most of the ones I found were centrifugal style but don’t produce enough boost to make much of a difference (especially for trucks).
I have found that using a Ducted fan (generally reserved for large R/C aircraft) you can get flows up to 2000CFM (enough to power an Air breathing 8.0L at redline) These engine actually produce quite a bit of power.
I’m going to attempt to install one using an aftermarket intake tube. I’ll keep yall posted on the results
