I think it becomes easier to just use a different fuel that is partially self-oxidizing. E.g. Top Fuel uses nitromethane rather than gasoline. Gasoline's stoichiometric ratio is 14.7:1 air:fuel, nitromethane is 1.7:1. Nitromethane in Top Fuel is already so volatile that the superchargers have to be wrapped in kevlar because the fuel blows up in them sometimes.
