Nitrous Oxide Performance Kits for the Chevrolet Engine:
Nitrous Oxide:
Once considered cheating, nitrous is now an integral part of the performance story. Ambient air provides the oxidizer with which fuel is burned. The air of our dear planet Earth only has 20% oxygen. If you want to burn more fuel in each combustion stroke, one either has to compress the air-fuel mixture using a supercharger or turbocharger, cool the air so it is more dense (typically limited to ambient air outside the vehicle) or use an oxidizer which has more oxygen than air. This is where nitrous (N2O) comes in as it is 33% oxygen. Nitrous is added to the air-fuel mixture to improve the concentration and density of oxygen in the combustible air-fuel mixture. More gasoline is added when nitrous is added making for a higher concentration energy being sent to the engine. Errors occur when the ration is out of balance and too much oxidizer is used and the combustion temperatures soar to piston melting levels.
