Even if you could get enough volume the high oxygen concentration would make the fuel charge burn so much hotter that you may burn through a piston. Think oxy/acetolene torch. Even with NOS (which is used for its enriched oxygen content, NO4 I think) is still buffered somewhat by the Nitrogen. You may be able to stiffle the excess heat by enriching the charge with a bunch of added fuel, but I agree a turbo would be more efficient and it compresses air which is about 3/4 Nitrogen anyway. Smartcar turbos are tiny and used on mopeds for boost.
