Now here's something to wrap your brain around:
The VX motor in stock form flows 134.45 CFM at 6000RPM.
Even though the Bilge Aerator fans (4") will flow 250CFM (on a good day) and some of the model aircraft "Jet Turbine" Engines will flow 300CFM, that is still an improvement over the CFM of the VX motor.

BTW: the VX motor flows about 50CFM cruising on the highway at 2200RPM.

Since the VX uses a MAP system and doesn't actually know the amount of air coming into the system (it calculates it based on known VE and by what the O2 sees), it might be possible to use a fan like this to eek a little more power for accelerating or leaning out even more during highway cruising (althought the ECU will compensate for the air during cruising eventually).
