AIR PUMP SUPERCHARGER
Just wondering;
Yes I KNOW this wouldn't work because it's too simple, but out of curiousity since AIR pumps are currently on my mind (tonight); does anyone know the CFM flow rate OF an AIR pump and how feasable (STUPID) would it be to re-route the airflow to the intake (in front of MAS) to act as a very weak supercharger?
I know the flow would be commensurate to revs and this is a dumb concept but makes the brain think for a few seconds...
Hey; this comes from me who as a pre-teen wondered about connecting a 12v or 240v (110v for US guys) via an invertor and having it blow into a carby to increase HP!!!

Re: AIR PUMP SUPERCHARGER (smacko)
That would be on the order of completely pointless for your Vette. HOWEVER rumor has it that an electric AIR pump from an LT1 will make a few pounds of boost on a riding lawn mower. :D

Yes...I THOUGHT it might be :)
HEY; since you're right in the thick of it there at bowling green, how about I send you some $$$ and you can freight me a few of those LT1 AIR pumps off a ride on (Boy you guys in the states must have Kick butt mowers!!!)
Could sure use an air pump now!!
Cheers!
