I tried this with my Tahoe. Got the o-scope out to look at the fuel  
injection signal, pressure gauge on the manifold, etc. A leaf blower doesn't  
make 
enough pressure to make any difference. They are high volume, low pressure  
blowers. You'd have to use at least a 1 HP blower to make any difference.  Real 
automotive blowers draw like 5 to 15 HP. That's why they have those big  belts 
on 
them. They would have done just as well with just the nitrous.

Nitrous,  I'm guessing.

I never would have thought a leaf blower could blow more  than one 
atmosphere. Looks like it does, just  barely.
