2) 75 jets are enuff to knock 1 full second off your ET, 1 second is like 10 car lengths in the 1/4

3) half of what you make NA is safe to spray on top of what you have

2. If a 75hp shot drops a second off your car, you car is slow. Although my friends and I sprayed a 75hp shot on one car and lost 4 seconds. It was a 19sec N/A 2.3 A4LD car.

3. That's extremely conservative. Put a 100hp shot on a stock 5.0 and you're over 50%. I've sprayed 150 & 175 on plenty on stock cars that wouldn't make over 200rwhp N/A. On the carbed stock motors we usually spray more than the car will make N/A.

I have seen cars on a 150hp shot actually pick up about 180hp at the real wheels... It all depends on what you have to work with.... Nitrous is however explosive because what is in the mixture??? Oxygen which is highly explosive when used in that form... Why do you think you use nitrous?? It burns extremely hot creating extreme cylinder pressure...

Nitrous is an oxidizer; it is not flammable. The extra power comes from the fact it is more oxygen rich than the air your car normally takes in. Saying N2O is explosive because it contains oxygen means the air we breathe would be explosive. Pure oxygen is flammable. Nitrous Oxide, like the air we breathe, is not.

Technically you are correct while the nitrous is in the bottle (liquid form) it is not... When the nitrous oxide is released into the engine in a gaseous state it is highly flammable exspecially when mixed with fuel...

Ohhh and next time you have a bottle breath some of it... its just like the air we breathe...

Hit your purge and hold a lighter up to it. You won't see any fireball from it. There is nothing there to burn. Nitrous oxide is a not flamable gas. It only adds extra oxygen to your combustion chamber.

actually, the nitrous oxide doesnt break apart into the nitrogen, and oxygen atoms until after the combustion has hapened, so there is NO way it is flammable, all it does is allow you to burn more fuel, more fuel = more power
