Big Daddy Don Garlits tried this back in the late 50's. You can see it at his Ocalla Fl museum. Its a slingshot dragster with a I'm guessing here a 50 gallon airtank.
An air tank does not have enough volume to give any prolonged advantage. That is why God invented Nitrous. Its 80% oxygen compared to atmospheric 20%, and it will give you measured advantages from 5-15 passes down the 1/4.
