question for all of you. would Giszmo's idea work on a 2 stroke? i mean piston speed is much faster, therefore it has to work harder at lower rpm's to produce the power it would at higher rpm's were the 2 strokes "power band" kicks in. could it help low end power for the 2 stroke? i assume a 2 stroke 2cylinder doesnt pull as much vacuum(cfm?) as would a 4 stroke 2 cyl.

another thing i didnt see anyone mention. why not freeze the air tank? that would make the oxygen molecules closer together and you probably could compress more air in the tank when it is frozen. it would cool off the air also that you just put into it. after you refilled it again, let it freeze or get really cold. then try it on the car. putting the ice cold air into the intake track would cool off some of the air that is already entering the intake. now i know if you put, lets say 50lbs of air in the tank and then you freeze it or get it really cold, the pressure will drop. that is why you will add more. say it is 50lbs at 70 degrees F when you put into the tank which yet has to be cooled. you put the tank in the freezer at 10 degrees F and lets say it drops it to 35lbs in the tank. put more in again as much as you can fit. cool it again. say you put a total of 75lbs in. let that cool. after it cools, it drops to 50lbs. take that tank and hook it up to your car. the outside air should warm the tank just enough to build the pressure in the tank higher but still would be colder than the air going in the intake at 70 degrees. wouldnt that "cool" the air that would be coming into the intake? wouldnt that much a small "charge" so to say? i dont know the expansion and contraction rates of ambient air, but i was just giving an example. just my .02 cents..
