nitrous is a power adder correct, but not a source of "forced induction" if that is what you meant by FI! forced induction to me means boost = turbo or supercharger

RE: Nitrous...
not trying to be but some argumentative now that the Presidential race is over, I still say nitrous is not forced induction. spraying nitrous just displaces normal combustion air which is only 21% oxygen with nitrous which has a higher % oxygen in it. it does not increase the manifold pressure one bit and the cylinder filling is still dependent upon the "vacuum" created by the cylinder going down on the intake stroke! forced induction implies a greater force mvoing air/fuel into the cylinder than the normal differential pressure between atmospheric pressure and the lower pressure present in a cylinder on the intake stroke.
