Pure Oxygen?

Try 426%...that's sucking just oxygen.
Oxygen is denser than air by about 10%, at 1.29 kg per cubic meter at 100kpa and 25 degrees C, as opposed to the 1.168 kg/m^3 that air is. So...1.29 kilos of O2 per cubic meter in box a, 1.168*.21=.24528 kilos in box B, A/B*100%= 526%.
And for ****s and giggles (hey, that's what it does to us), lets factor nitrous oxide into the mix, and we get 1.775 kilos of N2O at the same conditions, which, since we have ~40 mols/m^3 of the molecule in O2 and N2O, we get half as much oxygen per m^3 than pure oxygen when using Nitrous oxide as our "air", so O2 would theortically give twice as much as N2O.
But yes, it will explode. Oxygen will cause reactions with a lot of things, not just the fuel. Got a rubber connection between your intake and throttle? That'll go up. The steel will rust, the oil will burn, the gasoline will explode sending bits of your engine out to Mars.

Yeah, I'd expect it to blow with 100% oxygen, at least ours... going to 100% oxygen would mean an 80% increase in power for any vehicle... impressive... but with nitrous you can make more still... eh, it's an interesting idea to toy around with at any rate.

That deserves an "atta-boy".

RE: Pure Oxygen?
I think he is saying if you used oxygen properly you could use it to make the car run at the stoich (optimal) air to fuel ratio, 14.7:1.
Seems like it could only happen if you did a crap load of tests that aren't worth the time and effort..
