Does nitrous oxide cause detonation?
Not directly. Detonation can be the result of many things, such as a lean condition caused by not adding enough fuel, too low of an octane of fuel, and tmustoo much ignition advance. Most of our kits work well with stock type engines running on premium type fuels and minimal decreases of ignition timing. In racing application where higher compression ratios are used, a higher fuel octane be used as well as more ignition retard.
