What are the advantages of Nitrous Oxide?
The main advantages of using nitrous oxide are the price and performance. There is no modification that will give you more horsepower per dollar gains that nitrous will. It is relatively easy to install as well. Nitrous also generates instant horsepower when you hit the button. You have an instant horsepower gain where naturally aspirated, supercharged, or turbocharged motors must build engine rpm and boost to make more horsepower. This is especially effective for quarter mile drag racing since you get a large surge of power off the line to get the car moving. Nitrous is especially effective on the Super Coupe since it is already supercharged and intercooled. A 60hp nitrous kit will drop your ET’s by about one second. A 100 hp kit on my modified motor dropped my ET’s by almost two seconds.
