power adder

Nitrous oxide - the preferred go-fast gas of many speed freaks - delivers its substantial power boost by cooling the surrounding air, which in turn becomes denser. The denser air's higher oxygen volume feeds the hungry engine, which can now produce more power. Nitrous oxide is also widely used in ...

In the previous installment of this series, we discussed the function of nitrous oxide on a theoretical level. Now it's time to take a look at the hardware that is required to successfully employ nitrous as a power adder. Most nitrous users will start with a kit, the thoroughness of which varies ...

Nitrous oxide is known by several names - "nitrous", "spray", "the bottle" , "giggle juice", "laughing gas", "N-O-S" (just please dignify yourself and don't refer to it as "nawz") - but yet it's also perhaps the least understood piece of technology that is available to a modern hot rodder. ...
