Crazy idea

Would I be possible (hypothetically) to use the A.I.R. pump as a sorta blower for the engine (super charger)? Not that I plan on even thinking about it, but figured if anyone wanted to expand on it.... I dunno, any thoughts?

I'm no expert, but when I took off the pipe to it and felt the air pressure it puts out (was almost considering leaving it in place to blow air onto the the engine for cooling! ), it seemed way to weak to make any sort of difference as a blower. I'm no expert, but I'd guess that the negative sucking vacuum from the intake is probably way stronger than any positive pressure that AIR pump is putting out...

What the hell, try it and let us know what happens. It can't hurt, can it?

Some guy did this to a go cart motor, and it worked, this also worked for a small block but they had to put like 6-7 on. Do a search on the power adder board.
