I GOT AN IDEA. How about using a gas powered leaf blower! Mount the thing in the trunk and insulate it for sound. Run the exhaust out the bottom of trunk and hook the throtle cable up to the cars throtle. You could use one of the high dollar electric start models and start it from the drivers seat, that way it would only run when you need it. I'm not sure what CFM a centrifugal blower puts out but I bet a leaf blower could put out at least half that. Also there would be no drag on the engine. What do ya think?
