Excellent New Nitrous Book
Everyone here should be aware of the book “Nitrous Oxide Performance Handbook” by Jeff Hartman. I'm an NA guy considering nitrous and found this new book at Barnes and Noble. I searched here for reviews and was surprised to find none. It is very well written and covers the history, chemistry and practical aspects of nitrous. The only deficiency I've found is that electronic controllers are given short shrift - there is no "window switch" entry in the extensive index. This book is a very good introduction to nitrous.

I have the old "How to install & tune nitrous" book and when I first got into nitrous I thought it was great. Now that I ave learned about it from experience I laugh at some of the info in it.
I'm sure some of it is good info. Just don't believe the BS about richer being safer....

I haven’t come across any claims that rich is safe, only that lean is dangerous. The book discusses this issue from every conceivable angle and I will proceed cautiously. I have a wideband and I know the importance of reading plugs.

I don't know. But I believe any good book speaks for itself and you shouldn’t need to rely upon the author’s reputation. In the case of this particular book, my knowledge of basic physics and chemistry is my first check of the validity of statements about nitrous. If you test the book against your own knowledge and experience, you might also be impressed.
