compressed air as a power adder??? possible?
i was just wondering since with a blower or turbo your just pushing air into the intake why couldnt you make something to allow you to shoot compressed air into your engine...i have air bags on my delta 88 and i have plenty of air...i know there must be a reason no one has done it but why?

No, you don't have plenty of air, compared to the needs of your engine.
It's not air the engine needs anyway, it's oxygen. 80% of the compressed air would be nitrogen, which would be a waste of space.
