Then look at the size of your inlet. Notice the difference? There's the problem with this idea. I heard about some crazy guy a while back who built drag cars which had enormous bottles of compressed air on board, which did the job of the supercharger without the associated parasitic losses (those big superchargers on proper drag cars consume hundreds of horsepower). Apparently it worked fairly well except the car ended up being so heavy that it wasn't competitive with conventional supercharged setups. The air tanks also had to be filled overnight to get enough air for a single pass - talk about a PITA! Anyway the moral of the story: it works, but it's not practical - especially for a street car. Even if you had a big enough setup to produce a meaningful amount of boost (and it would have to be BIG), it would only last for a few seconds. [Report message to a moderator]
