Ive thought about it, but I am scared that I will overlook something and blow my engine up. You could hook up compressed pure oxygen, and inject it into the intake...lol fun!

Now don't go giving people ideas like that - O2 is not something to mess around with. Too unstable and too much of a SERIOUS fire hazard.

That's why they use Nitrous Oxide (a.k.a. NOX or NO3) to get the benefits of injected oxygen without the fire danger....

my intention was not literal anyways, just a joke. If you were to get into a collision with an oxygen tank, youd die, end of story...lol

There was that guy that put his own P/Stroke turbo on his IDI. It was a mess of pipes welded all over the top of the engine. I wish I still had a pic of it to post. Looked like it would be a fun one to replace the inj. pump on.
