Are you spraying the company Nitrous Oxide Systems into your engine?
Hypothetical:If I have an engine running at a 15.9:1 A/F ratio and I need to richen up a bit should I say:I'm going to add a little Exxon/Mobil to the BP/Amoco table?

Whatever you need to do to make yourself happy.
This is similar to people referring to every wireless headset as "a bluetooth" C'mon man!! Bluetooth is a brand name for a connection standard. The device is made by a bunch of different companies and is properly called a headset. My Computer is bluetooth compatible should I call it "a bluetooth" now? How about my buddies BMW? It's bluetooth compatible..
I won't call call the nonflammable gas NITROUS OXIDE "NOS" because it is not "NOS". I don't want to be incorrect and I do not want to be lumped in with the fast and the furious crowd. I also do not want this moving over into other parts of the automotive world.
EXAMPLE:
Setting Local car show:
Bob:Standing next to his bitchin' red Camaro.
Jim:walks up to bob and says "So, what ya' got in that thing?"
Bob:"I got me an LS1 with Manleys,Manleys,King Alecular,COMP CAMS,COMP CAMS,Callies,AND Cloyes.OH!! and a huge shot of NOOOOSSSS with two of the big blue ones!!!"
Jim: "Oh I'm sorry I meant what parts did you use to build the engine an such"
Bob: "Yeah, that's what I told ya' "
Jim: "What the **** are you talking about Bob?! I asked what kind of parts where in the engine and all you did was provide me with a list of company brand names? Manley makes Springs,Rods, and all manner of other parts what is what?"
Bob: "NOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!"
Jim: "Did your mother do meth when she was pregnant?"
Bob: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! !!"
Jim: I hate you Jim......

the tires blow loose at 50 in 2nd with auto trans and it is hard to tell where the afr is at but first it was 16s for 1 second so i jetted up and it was 14s so I put a big jet in 62n and 53g and it was suppose to have 38g so I am really big butt it blows the tires loose so I am afraid to hold it for more than 1 second until I can see what happens if I am jetted right and then it was 11.5s for 1 second. I want to dyno it and let them tell me if it is ok. I think I did it right. I took out 4 degrees timing and colder plugs.

Nitro Daves in Texas did all the tech and parts to get it smoking are from them. Every time I called them they picked up the phone and send out the parts same day. Customer service is the best. Thanks Kevins Auto Wisconsin 150 shot is good maybe 200 shot next.
Not A big NOS fan,what kit is it??? I had a NX kit jetted for 150 on a near stock 01WS6 and went through a ton of bottles. Only prob I had was it ate a few rear ends and had a few backfires/fires. But it did allrite, consistant 12.0@120 on bald 275's
