Ok. I didn't want to mention it but I was thinking about turbo charging my Vette. I got to thinking about it and how in efficient even turbos are (compressor efficiencies of about 80% at best).
Since a turbo's function is to pressurize incoming air and force it into the upper motor, and turbos are driven by high pressure exhaust gas created from the combustion process, couldn't I just bypass the turbo altogether and route my headers back into the throttle bodies?
Since I have CFI, I could balance the DEI (direct exhaust injection as I just coined it) by feeding one header into each throttle body. Yes, the charge air wouldn’t be that cold, but it would be under a hell of a lot more pressure.

Automotive "enthusiast" often seen driving a fart-can rice cooker with seat in the near fully reclined position. To select proper gear driver pulls self up right by yanking on the shift lever thus "shaking the stick". Real pimps ofcourse drive automatics so they never have to lift but are still stick shakers at heart.
