Introduction

  • Nitrous oxide is an accelerant much like an oxy acetylene torch. When the acetylene gas is turned on and ignited, it burns cool and with excessive smoke. Add oxygen to the acetylene, and all of a sudden, the flame jumps to in excess of 1800 degrees. Nitrous oxide accelerates fuel in much the same manner. It acts somewhat like a supercharger in as much as it allows much more air and fuel to ignite in the cylinders, creating tremendous pressure. Nitrous oxide and fuel are injected into the cylinders in a balanced mixture that keeps the additional heat at an acceptable limit....
