But, that's not how a nitrous system works. Atmospheric air has about a 21% oxygen concentration. Nitrous Oxide, on the other hand, breaks down into 33% oxygen concentration.
Furthermore, when Nitrous Oxide decomposes, the reaction is exothermic. In other words, when (2)N2O decomposes into 2N2 + O2, it ADDS heat to the intake charge (technically already under compression in the cylinder, and igniting). You confuse spraying liquid N2O into the intake tract, which cools the intake charge from evaporation, the same way fuel injection does.
The reason N2O adds power, is because it displaces atmospheric air with a molecule of higher oxygen content, which can be readily broken down to O2, and then combusted with fuel.

Hey Mike we are talking about a dry shot of NOS, we will move on to Wetshot next week lol It really gets good then
I know your intelligent Im not trying to Imply anything about that. I also don't expect you to know everything about NOS either since its not used in your line of work
