[QUOTE=trebuchet03;76999]I thought that's what the OP was talking about - he never mentioned anything about cold air

Oh no, looking at it now thats what he meant I think. I just had never considered it because the very first time I saw anyone do it it was CAI. That person then proceeded to do CCAI(Complete Cold Air Intake) using exhaust heat to run a small compressor alongside his supercharger. He used the turbine fins to power the compressor and supercharged off the block.
It was a 42. . .428 Cobra engine in a Ford Torino. It might have been a 427. . . he has two and both motors. Thats kind of outside the realm of normal though because he had everything built custom to be able to take the chilled air and increased compression. I will say the car can pin you to your seat if you give the compressor a minute or so to start cooling. Can't run it for more than a few minutes full out otherwise the oil doesn't drip down fast enough to get back in the engine ^_^(with an expanded oil pan).
It's not FE. I'm not even going to pretend it is lol
