From: Billy Crabs

let me try to explain myself better, the amount of air that is drawn
into an engine is in direct coralation to cylinder volume and the cam
shafts "lift and duration" A valve can only stay open as long as the
cam lobe holds the lifter up, therefore only allowing as much air/fuel
as was scientificly formulated for the cylinder.
for instance, lets say you have two guys who are going to breath in
deep, now even if you are blowing an air hose in their faces, they are
only going to be able to inhale as much as there lungs will hold. Now
lets say they are inhaling pot and when they blow out its put into a
"turbo", the turbine spins and sends the unused pot back to their
lungs, but it's still only as much as they hold in their
lungs(cylinder volume)


Never been to the "Top Fuel" drags, have you?

It would be fun to hear his description of how supercharging as opposed to
turbocharging works.
