§ Fuel Quality
Because nitrous oxide is an oxidizer, fuel selection is critical. Both octane and fuel consistency affect
fuel burn rate. The oxidizer quality of nitrous oxide will accelerate the burn rate, so we recommend a
high quality of gasoline. We also recommend you use the same grade of gasoline every time you use
your nitrous oxide system. This will maintain the same fuel burn rate every time.
§ Engine System Upgrades
With all performance modifications, complementary system upgrades will always serve to elevate the
consistency and longevity of an engine, especially when using nitrous oxide as a power adder.
Ignition upgrades, intake manifold upgrades, fuel controls and fuel pumps can all add to the
performance of a nitrous oxide injected engine.
§ Cast Pistons
With all nitrous oxide applications, forged pistons are highly recommended. Because of heightened
potential for detonation, cast pistons are more prone to failure and cannot handle horsepower
increases over 125 hp. Never initiate your nitrous system before you are at full-load, wide-open
throttle conditions. Cast pistons will not be able to survive this kind of stress.
