I have twin 502 super-charged engines. I am experimenting. Let me know if you think this would work, or if not please explain.
What about the idea of dropping the super-charger which I know consumes a Significant amount of hp, and instead having a small
size, say 10 Liter tank of liquid O2 Regulated to the same PSI and flow rate that the super-charger adds to the engine. Also remember that normal air is only 21% O2 and that the tank is at 900psi and also the fact that liquid O2 expands 800 times in volume when vaporizing. You could even preheat it through the intake manifold or headers, you could regulate it to whatever atmosphere you needed at aprox. 21% 0f 3000 cfm. Any input. Could this work? Any benifit? 10 Liter tank only weighs about 65 pounds full. The engine would then be running on pure oxygen.

I thought that liquid oxygen is a cryogenic fluid, with a boiling point (point at which liquid turns to gas) of -297 degrees F. Besides all the cryogenic equipment, what about the vaporizer and assorted coils required. 4000 times more combustible, don't liqht one up unless you want to go for one helluva ride.

I'm really ignorant on this but I would think that pure O2 and gas would generate intolerable temperatures in the combustion chamber and fry the pistons.
