Re: smog pump specs
Probably on the order of 3-4 psi, but not very many CFMs. Just a random guess; 50 CFM?

I'm going out on an assumption here, but you cannot use it as a cheap-o supercharger. I tried this back in 1983 with zero success. Remove the tube coming out of any pump and feel how much air it pushes when running. It feels like an old man with emphasyma wheezing on your hand. There is not enough pressure or flow to affect engine performance in any measurable way.

Re: smog pump specs
if you were yo use that pump as a supercharger, you'd most likely restrict the airflow, not increase it which would not be good for the engine.
