How does NOS work?
There are three things NOS does: • Provides more oxygen • Reduces air temperature • Helps control the combustion NOS is made up of two nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. By weight, NOS is 36% oxygen. Ambient air has a lower percentage of oxygen. The nitrogen molecules break away from the oxygen molecules at ~572 degrees, which is achieved in the combustion chamber as the air/fuel mix is compressed. More oxygen by itself doesn’t really give you anything aside from a cleaner burn. It does allow you to burn more fuel; by injecting more fuel with the NOS you’ll see some serious power gains. When NOS is injected, it is in a pressurized liquid form. As it is released it “boils”, which dramatically reduces it’s temperature (to about -130 degrees). This reduced temperature also effects surrounding air, possibly by as much as 70 degrees. The colder the air, the more power you make (about 1% more hp for each 10 degree temperature drop). This is also a decent power increase. The nitrogen doesn’t
