I also thought of this idea to use a specialy shaped compressor to run boost for engins at the strip ONLY! I meen it would probably only be feesable to build one that ran the car for 20-30 seconds.... Its not the PSI thats the problem... I meen you could bust out with 100 or 1000 PSI IF the motor could take it, its the velocity of airflow that bites you in the butt... Thats why you would have to use a specialy shaped compresion tank to do it.

My pops (a verry smart man) said "WHY USE AIR? WHY NOT USE COMPRESSED OXYGEN AND LOW GRADE GAS?" I have been welding for a few years now (for fun and around the house/car stuff) and I have taken a few courses in colledge... Im lincoln electric certified up to 1 1/2 inch <---- i could work on skyscrapers. BUT thats not the point. I was just telling you so that you know I know what Im talkin bout, when you mix oxy with oil or petrolium gasses it explodes! BIG TIME... So why not elliminate the entire need for spark plugs an a batterie? All you would need is a BUTT LOAD of money for motors <---- It would be damn near impossable for any engine to withstand this more that 1 or MAYBE 2 times. However if you could pull this off and make it work, we are deffinitly talkin bout 3-3.5 second timeslips!
