Wow… that kit is dangerous. it will likely blow your engine. it’s a dry system… Dry systems are ones that don’t inject fuel with the n2o.
someone said nitrous burns without fuel. And that’s incorrect. nitrous oxide can actually be used to PUT OUT FIRES. Scary thought?
The biggest benifit from nitrous is the reduction in intake temprature. It brings the intake charge down to as low as 100 below zero. This makes the incoming air charge much more dense. More dense air lets you burn more fuel. Some oxygen comes in with the nitrous, and it’s freed when compressed and exposed to 400 degree + tempratures. So the only time you get oxygen out of nitrous is in the combustion chamber.

Paintball has easily available 9, 12, and 20oz tanks you can use, and will provide you with pleanty of nitrous for extended use at 1-3hp levels.
