I think your guess for volume and pressure of air required are off by an order of magnitude or 2

The math is straight forward to do a back of envelope calc however. For reference an engine will be sucking 10 lbs of air per min at 100 HP.

A 10 gal tank at 1 ATM over ATM (2 ATM absolute) will be holding .2 lbs of air and will only be able to maintain 5 psi boost for a small fraction of even that tiny mass
