i'm sure hot rodders or truck guys might've used this in the past before, but it just dawned on me a few days ago. power adders for cars all rely on getting more air into the engine, because more air means more fuel and more fuel means more power. so why use nitrous oxide to introduce more oxygen into the combustion chamber when you can hook up an oxygen canister? it would seem to make more sense to me unless it's unreasonably dangerous or more expensive than nitrous oxide gas. any feedback would be interesting.

well you can get high off of oxygen because our atmosphere is composed of about 70% nitrogen, so yea, our bodies really aren't accustomoed to high amounts of pure oxygen.

but anyways, so pretty much the only reason pure oxygen injection isn't practical is because of the high risk of explosion? if the risk really is that high i guess i'll hold back from it and keep looking for n2o kits.

p.s. thanks for all the feedback

those are the answers i have been looking for,. i must've forgotten about boyle's law, silly me. so oxygen doesn't work because it burns far too hot. i'll stay away from oxygen i suppose, but i'm still thinking intently of nitrous. the voided warranty that ensues is slowing me down from buying it, because it sure is nice to be able to get stuff fixed right at the dealership.

thanks for the info, that's why i <3 this forum.

that does sound like a boat load of fun. although i can't imagine working in a laboratory environment, too much responsibility.
