Nitrous is the most cost effective way to increase the performance of an internal combustion engine. The way it works is to increase the amount of oxygen that can be introduced into the cylinder during the intake stroke. With more oxygen, more fuel can be burned, and thus, the engine produces more power. This equation works without exception as long as the proper amount of fuel is added to the cylinder to match the nitrous charge. If the fuel is not added, the engine is forced into a lean condition which causes combustion temperatures to increase, along with the potential for massive engine failure.
