Really stupid question about the air pump
Reading thru some old posts about the air pump, a thought occurred to me. 1st, I am not sure how much air that thing actually pumps, but....as it is not really necessary, could one run the piping to the air intake for a extra boost of air ?
When the car was at lower speeds or idle, the extra air could relate to more power couldn't it ?
again, I realize this is pretty stupid, just a thought that came to mind when I read about people removing their air pumps

figure the volume of air your engine swallows per revolution = 1/2 of 5 liters or about 150 cu. in. = about .1 cu. ft. This X 6000 RPM to be making power to near redline = 600 CFM to just break even.
Like Jim said.............. NO!
