I figured if I was brave enough to try it, I would start with a VERY small amount and see what it does. I have access to a dyno for free so that helps some. I also just purchased a Tweecer RT tuner that should be here sometime this week. Once I get a wideband setup, I will be able to take countless runs and tune the hell out of it.

As far as the other story...LoL, aren't cops dumb? I can't stand them

Well Nitrous = N2O, wich means 2 parts Nitrogen to 1 part oxygen (but that is molecular structure). If your mix is 40% Oxygen, it may be with in the same combustion range (for lack of better words). After reading up on this I wonder just how flameable your stuff is. Nitrous is considered nonflameable, while Nitrox mixes containing more than 40% O2 is considered flameable. So be carefull with it. It will diffinately give ou some HP. But getting the fuel and gas levels correct is territory you are pioneering on your own. I would do it though.

But as for why I asked about how long a tank lasts... You could use your same diving regulator set up, and do a constant feed to your intake for an hour at a time.

Portland, Maine. Around here it's anywhere from $5 - $6 per pound. It's $5 at a shop I go to a lot... $5.50 at Napa.
HAHAHAHA I pay 3.25 per lb.
