Nitrous and Torque Questions
Ok, I admit, I'm a complete noob/dummy when it comes to nitrous.
I had the impression that any given number shot of nitrous would basically translate/equal the same # increase in both hp/tq crank.
Someone on another board told me I was defiantely clueless, but no one seems to want to answer my questions on HOW nitrous can provide so much more torque. Like a 100 shot providing 150+ rwtq increase.
Someone please break this down for me so I can understand.

Re: Nitrous and Torque Questions (SvenOdin)
N2O is -40 degrees when it is spraying in to the intake. This condenses the air, allowing more air to fill the combustion chamber. N2O is very flamible when mixed with a catalyst such as fuel. This is why you should retard the timing so the spark ignites earlier allowing for the N2O to burn with the extra fuel. So... not only are you compressing the air in the cylinder but you are also allowing for additional fuel to burn. More fuel + More Air = Lots of Torque.
