- There is many different NOS systems on the market (of varing
- complexity) and some of them are 'bolt-on'.
-
- The simplest method involves a plate that is bolted between the
- carburetor and the intake manifold. The plate will contain outlets for
- NOS and fuel injectors... The extra fuel is VERY important since NOS
- artificially increases the oxygen content of the mixture. If you were
- to inject just NOS into a high performance engine (or almost any
- engine) the resulting lean mixture would burn so hot you would melt a
- piston quicker then you can read this sentence.
-
- A post to rec.autos.technical would probably be a better place for
- this question though.
