compressed air for big twins or single?

compressed air could be shot into the engine at low boost or used to help spool up a big set of twins or used with a big single anytime.

dont you think that this could take some lag out at the track or while sledpulling or maybe to help pass emission tests?

ex. drag racing you would send in the compressed air while sitting still to spool the turbo then when full fuel is applied its instantly burned. this would result in much less staging smoke

ex. sled pulling you you could shoot air into the big turbo to have it spooled already so when you are building speed early in the pull you will picked up lost hp early

i would like to have it when i am going to race from a stop this would allow me to be spooled up already without all the preboost smoke and would help me burn all the fuel the p-pump dumps at low rpm so well.

drill the air horn blow air it would be easy to set up and cheap. cheaper than nitro meth etc. or use it to spool the turbo.

good be a bad idea dont know
