Nitrous Oxide Quality Anyone know if the quality of nitrous itself can vary from source to source?
Reason being is after my last bottle refill I started running leaner, with no other changes.
I've checked everything and I'll can assume is this bottle just has more oxygen.
Perhaps with the shortage Ive ended up with something other than standard automotive grade.

Fuel is added by increasing pressure at fuel rails.
No. After MAF near TB.
No. But AFR is perfect off nitrous.
No logging. But have an in car guage that spikes to a steady 75PSI fuel at 900PSI bottle.

Forgive my 5.0 ignorance, but the NOS nitrous regulator is supposed to put out 50psi. When you hit that to the fuel pressure regulator, does it not go up 50psi like boost referencing a regulator?

For those curious the fuel system checked out.
What I failed to mention was the 1 inch intake spacer I added (for clearance issues).
I haven't pulled it off yet but from what Ive read this can alter the nitrous hit considerably.

DeNatured N20 Hi Wes, I AGREE with YOUR observation. (GOOD WORK !)
YOU have brought to light an ITEM even the "experts" don't state.
This is what I learned from my friend/local shop Mike Thermos, Nitrous Supply, the inventor of Modern N20 for automotive use and creator of the NOS company : "The N2O (automotive grade) is being "denatured" by adding material into the gas that STOPS the "tweaker" use."
What this can do to the N2O is the unknown you state.
I purchase Medical Grade as the cost is equal to Automotive Grade.

There is one huge difference. Nitrous plus (racing nitrous) is supplied in siphon bottles, medical grade is not. The nitrous plus will spray liquid out, unless held upside down. Medical type will spray out gas (useless for a car), unless it is held upside down. Medical nitrous was almost 1/3 the cost of nitrous plus last year.
