Re: NOS Question?

Nitrous doesn't burn anything (oxidise anything), the only reason it gives hp gains (besides the cooling effect from depressurizing the gas) is because at around 500 degrees it decomposes into N2 and O2 and the extra O2 (compared to air: air=21% O2 nitrous oxide=33% O2) is what allows you to burn fuel more efficiently
