Well i no real Guru, and I don't know if the fan will actually produce
the extra boost, but if it does then the extra air flow through the AFM
should take care of adjusting the fuel. That's what the AFM does -
measures the amount of air and then the computer calculates the required
amount of fuel.

We're pulling for you Orvil - have you thought of leaving the prop on
that motor, and strapping it to the roof of the car instead?
