The software wouldn't be able to adapt quickly enough and you would run hugely lean, and stall.
Either that, or all the air would blow back out the intake.. The compressed air is going to find the path of least resistance, since you'd be dumping it into the intake somewhere, it'd just shoot right out the air filter box...
