How Does Nitrous Oxide Work?

There are three points. First, nitrous oxide is cised of 2 parts nitrogen and one part oxygen (36% oxygen by weight). When therous oxide is heated to approximately 572oF (on compression stroke), it breaks down release extra oxygen, However, it is not this oxygen alone which creates additionaler, but the ability of this oxygen to burn more fuel. By burning more fuel, higher cder pressures are created and this is where most of the additional power is realizeecondly, as pressurized nitrous oxide is injected into the intake manifold, it changes froliquid to a gas (boils). This boiling affect reduces the temperature of the nitrous to aus .127 Degrees F. This "cooling affect" in turn significantly reduces intake ce temperatures by approximately 60-75 Degrees F. This also helps create additional r. A general rule of thumb: For every 10 Degrees F. reduction in intake charge teature, a 1% increase in power will be realized. Example: A 350 HP engine with anake temperature drop of 70 Degrees F, would gain approximately 25 HP on the cooling af alone. The third point, the nitrogen that was also released during the compron stroke performs an important role. Nitrogen acts to "buff or dampen" the eased cylinder pressures leading to a
controlled combustion process.

Why Nitrous?

Nitrous oxide injection has become a veopular option for today's performance enthusiast for several reasons:

1. Nitrous offers you more performance perlar spent, than any othe performance
   modification.
   
2. Nitronstallations are relatively easy to accomplish.
   
3. Since Nitrous is used only when needed,offers you the advantages of complete
   driveability and normal gas mil while not "on the button."
   
4. Systems available for virtually any poneed from 25 HP to over 500 extra HP.
   
5. One of the few performance options availafor today's computer control fuel
   injected engines.
   
6. Systems can easily be removed or transferred to another vehicle.
