any local performance shop that has a nitrous license..

[BlackGTS2002]

would i find a shop like this in a state that NO2 is illegal in?,,,probably not right?....or is NO2 illegal in all states?

[larryd]

nitrous is legal in all states, just certain terms of usage are not legal from state to state.. btw please keep forced induction related posts in the forced induction forum.. this includes turbo, s/c and nitrous..

haha you beat me too it sam, jk

layoff man.... at least i didnt call it NOS...so i fudged the chemistry a little..so what

i thought it was NO2 also? 1 nitrogen molecule to two oxygen molecules? like H2O. 2 hydrogen, and 1 oxygen. i know that there are 2 oxygen molecules to 1 nitrogen molecule in nitrous. the oxygen makes the extra power. it is seperated during combustion and releases the oxygen to be used for added thermal power. 33.3 percent more oxygen in the same amount of space, means that much more combustable energy being made. we still do have internal combustable engines don't we, or did i fall asleep for WAY too long... oh well... maybe a chem wiz could clear it up for us...

Not the best way to describe but you seem to know the basics of it.

By weight, n2o has a little more than 1/3 oxygen, while the amosphere has about 1/4 oxygen.
So it does have more O2 than the amosphere

Moreover, "nitrous oxide", not no2 (nitrous dioxide), is more dense than just air.
And we all know that more dense = more O2.

Another property of n2o that we love is that when it vaporizes, it cools the ambiant air i.e. intake air.
And we love cold air, dont we?

yup! thanx for clearing that all up for me! i knew, like you said, the basics, but not the whole picture.
