Re: Why use nos?
As drdisque said, safety is the reason. Pure oxygen is very dangerous. It reacts violently with anything flammable (and even things you wouldn't think should burn). As far as how it works in the engine...not to dispute the chem. lesson, but to put it in simple form...more air and fuel equals more power. The nitrous adds concentrated oxygen and either the injectors or a spray bar add the extra fuel. It's that simple. The damage usually comes when the fuel system fails to add the fuel and the mixture goes real lean, real fast.
