Agreed. That's why I said if you had an extra battery, wiring of course and some way of recharging the massive loss of electricity if you turned it on, it would work...assuming you had a serious electric motor and compressor. Now tuning it would be a nightmare because it would be near instantaneous compressed fuel/air coming in as opposed to fast gradual increase. "Gradual" as in within a seconds or so for a normal one instead of from off to full blast in half a second with an electric motor.

Oh I agree with you totally.. it would take a lot of electric motor and power to run it. Again, its still possible if someone wanted to do it bad enough.

Not sure why you all are hating on this idea. After reading the OP's sig, it's obvious to me, that he knows his stuff:
From the OP's bio:
"I was named crew chief of the race for a national event win in Grattan, MI I was also a pro shifter kart tuner. I was named mechanic of the year at Badger Raceway in Dousman, WI"
