Leaf blower puts some air out too. That's cool. I wanted to do it just for fun a long time ago. I just don't think I could handle the fumes inside the car.
Leaf blowers are meant to move air, not pressurize it. All a leaf blower would do is overcome the intake restrictions and inefficiencies, not really provide any positive pressure. Kind of like a ram air effect that works at all speeds instead of just a small speed range like ram air. SO yeah, a leaf blower could make a few HP, maybe one or two probably, it would probably self destruct after a while because of the loads on it trying to push air into a restriction.

Have you ever had one of the leaf blowers that you put on your back. That's pressure. At full throttle it's hard as hell to keep your hand over it. I am sure it would put out some PSI!
