and I'm still saying you that you have to define the stresses you are saying the cam couldn't take.

I'm not going to build one and I'm not that interested, but I'm convinced that if the boost pressures required were low then this would work.

3-4 psi on one of these engines will do a lot for performance.
I'd be willing to bet that a cam driven blower cold support 3 psi and not snap anything. I'm also aware that tube shafts (like rear wheel drive driveshafts) are able to withstand just as much stress as a solid shaft of smaller size.
If he's thinking of getting 10psi out of it then I agree its hopeless. But something to make the intake more efficient then maybe...
