I doubt it would be too much use on more powerful engines.
It takes a certain amount of air to make a certain amount of horsepower. If an engine gets to a point where it's consuming more than 800CFM, the blower will become the bottleneck of the system.
1 cubic foot of air is 0.0807 lbs.
300 CFM = 24.21lbs of air. which is about 160 WHP on the focus.. so 160WHP is your break-even point for such a blower. But since you're also forcing air in at a faster speed, you'll see the greatest kick on long intake runners.
Could be an VERY legitimate SPI mod.... *shrug*
edit.. note that the electric fan only has enough power to push 1PSI, so it's obviously not working at full speed under 800CFM... so the trick would be to make an engine that can breath easily enough to get the 800CFM.. hence why you see the greatest gains at faster RPMS..
