Re: What is Nitrous? "Nitrous is like hot girl with with STD's, you know you wanna hit it, but your afraid of the consequences." 
Now on the serious side. It's N2O. Di-nitrogen Oxyde (Laughing gas). It's a cost effective way of supercharging your motor (Assuming you don't overdo it)otherwise
It saturates the combustible charge with Oxygen which with more fuel makes a more powerful burn and therefore more horses. By itself not flamable but with fuel it makes a hell of a bang.

IT IS NOT CALLED NOS
IT IS NOT CALLED NOS
Its called NAAAWWWSSS!!!
So every N2O system can be called a NOS for short.
You don't spray NOS, you spray N2O
But the system u use is called a NOS. (Even if it is not the brand name)

Re: What is Nitrous? Its Nitrous oxide its two parts nitrogen and one part oxygen at around 750 degrees farenheidt it all oxidises and gives u the ability to add more fuel which in return builds cylinder pressure and adding cylinder pressure is like adding compression, it makes horse power. A 150 shot on a ten to one engine is like a n/a engine with 19 to 1 compression.
