I was told that it really does decarbonize the engine. That's how the the service center know that youre running nitrous - your engine is wayy too clean. And that's when they void your warranty. :nopity

Re: Does nitrous decarb your engine? (OliverM5)
It all depends. I run a 10lbs bottle every month and I just changed the piston rings on my C5 and there was a ton of carbon. In order to clean the engine you have to lead out the engine. Get a hypertech programmer and run the engine lean to clean. Just becareful not to melt the engine.
