If your blower has an exhaust velocity of 200 MPH the maximum pressure
recovery in a diffuser would be about .7 pounds/in2, realistically about .5
lbs/in2.

It might work more better to have it blowing into the engine for this

Ah.... but would it?

So you think the leaf blower idea would be about as effective at
increasing
HP, as farting into the carb for the methane content?

I need to measure the pressure, but I'd guess the one I have with the
200 mph exhaust is about 15 inches or more.

However were it deadheaded, I don't know what it could do.

You may have a point. Anyone have some pressure gauge that could measure
the small amounts of boost at the business end of a leaf blower? I would
be
curious to see what good one would do.

Didn't a guy use a two cycle engine setup to boost his engine for a race
lately? What kind of deal did he use?
