You sir ARE kidding, right?

Actually they do put down some impressive numbers. Unfortunately, battery technology can't quite keep up. To will take about 10 minutes to get enough juice to charge a battery to pressurize a 4.6L motor to 5 psi for a 1/4 mile run. Of course you could always carry more batteries, which add considerable weight, or have numerous capacitators sequentially discharge.
This is actually an incredible idea, but it is still a few years out. Just think, a 4 hour install (probably also would want another injector and a water/alcohol injection system for safety) and about 446 hp (at 6 psi). Sounds pretty good to me.

My understanding is that these things are really designed for 4-cylinder cars anyway. For our Marks it would be like installing an extra propeller on the Space Shuttle boosters.
