you could use it like no2 but it would be cheaper and safer. i am not sure that i need no2 because a only am looking to get about a 50hp gain. so couldn't you just use co2 some how.

By using CO2 you will actually reduce your power. Even though you are making the air more dense through cooling it you are filling your combustion chamber with an inert gas leaving less room for air and fuel. Any increase in density of the air charge will be negated by the decreased chamber volume.

One would think that because CO2 has 2 oxygen atoms and N2O only has one that CO2 would provide an environment for even better combustion than N2O. Truth is that the two Carbon Oxygen double bonds are so strong and the molecule so stable that CO2 is an inert gas.

ok but do my idea and shoot it through the tb coolant lines (if you have tb bypas) this would be kind of like an intercooler. prob would not gain much power but would drop intake temp. but remember every bit counts. i have been wanting to try this with one of my friends n2o syl but never have.
