Like most things in life, Nitrous Oxide has an upside and a downside. On the upside, Nitrous—when used correctly—can give just about any engine a substantial boost in horsepower at the simple push of a button. But used incorrectly, Nitrous can turn that same motor into a pile of worthless, busted parts. Unfortunately, stories about busted engines get more attention than they deserve, which has made a lot of sport compact owners reluctant to try adding nitrous to their performance mix.

But armed with the right knowledge, almost anyone can make Nitrous Oxide work for their engine. Nitrous works by simply making more oxygen available to your car's engine. More oxygen means you can burn more fuel, which means you make more power. But Nitrous use needs to be carefully managed and monitored to ensure that you get as much power as you can without grenading your engine. In this book, Joe Pettit shows you how to exactly do that.

Pettit starts by explaining what Nitrous is and how it works, then moves on to cover the fuel system, the components of a Nitrous system and how they interact, Nitrous activation systems, and installing and wiring a Nitrous injection. The book also includes information on drag racing classes for Nitrous-equipped sport compacts, and an extensive source guide for Nitrous systems and related performance parts. Packed with more than 250 photos, charts, and illustrations, this book has what you need to get the most out of your Nitrous system—safely.
