Nitrous oxide is probably the most misunderstood ingredient in the modern hot rodder's cook book. Its power enhancing properties are widely recognized and debated, but the practical application of ...

Like many wonderful and useful scientific things, nitrous oxide was discovered by accident in 18th-century England, and much later (during the '30s and '40s) it was used by dentists as an anesthetic.

Performance augmentation systems are typically more expensive, complicated, and potentially illegal, but as a final step they remain some of the most popular modifications in the hot rodder's handbook ...
