Tech Question - Nitrous Oxide

Rich,
As the only NASA person present, I can tell you for Fact that it is not Allowed at NASA-Mid Atlantic Events, you can have the lines but the bottle must not be installed, if it is you will not be allowed on track until it is removed. I am not sure if this in the rules but I know Chris Cobetto has been asked this and this was the answer he has givin on serveral occasions.

I for one don't need an extra 50 or 75 hp anywhere where I am not wearing a helmet.

That's just not right! :shock:

BTW - when I said "ambient air pressure", I ruled out turbos or superchargers from the path to enlightenment. While trick intakes, exhausts, cylinder heads, or (cheater #%&*@) variable valve timing all apply, only Dick seemed to understand that I was talking about displacement. In addition to HP, more displacement brings more torque, which is a good thing. I highly recommend it.

Well, my insurance premiums sure don't need it!

Just a smidgen more expensive than nitrous, but is that the sort of thing you were thinking?

If you want a more modern engine, there is always this.

And finally, if you decide a the atmosphere could use a little help along with your slice of displacement, there is always this.

Unfortunately, my bank account is the limiting factor, not what can fit in the car.

Dick, Thank you very much! The link worked just fine.

Not exactly, but it does serve to bring things more into .. ahem.. focus. Glad to see you apparently prefer my preferred brand!

Here is another V8 Focus. They stuffed the Supercharged Lightning motor in this one. So it has Art's idea of bigger displacement and forced induction.

Really sick
