OK, do some arithmetic here. The cubic inch (or liter if you prefer) displacement of an engine is the amount of air that passes through the engine in TWO revolutions - on a 4-stroke engine. So, let us say that a 300 cubic inch engine (about 5 liters) would need An additional 300 cubic inches of air for every 2 revolutions of the engine to achieve a 1 atmosphere boost. So, assuming an engine speed of say 4000 rpm, to get 1 atmosphere of boost would require 2000x300 cubic inches of air PER MINUTE to get this one atmosphere of boost. So that is 600,000 cubic inches of air PER MINUTE. There are 1728 cubic inches in a cubic foot. 600,000/1728=347.22222 cubic feet per minute. So, this would take an enormous and high pressure tank to accomplish this, and it would only last for a very short time. Turbocharging or supercharging both sound way more efficient to me.
