i've compiled a list from as many manufacturers as i can.
First nitrous oxide is made up of 2 parts nitrogen and 1 part oxygen. during combustion in the cylinder, the nitrogen molecules are fractured into its two components. The oxygen released aids in the efficient burning of the fuel in the combustion chamber and the nitrogen aids in damping the increased cylinder pressure. Another important effect nitrous has on the combustion process is cooling. Since nitrous is -128 degrees F., it lowers the air temperature coming into the intake and allows for better atomization of the air/fuel mixture, therefore, creating more horsepower.
Nitrous oxide is made up of 2 parts nitrogen and one-part oxygen (36% oxygen by weight). During the combustion process in an engine, at about 572 degrees F., nitrous breaks down and releases oxygen. This extra oxygen creates additional power by allowing more fuel to be burned. Nitrogen acts to buffer, or dampen the increased cylinder pressures helping to control the combustion process. Nitrous also has a tremendous "inter-cooling" effect by reducing intake charge temperatures by 60 to 75 degrees F.
Nitrous oxide is a gas that contains two parts nitrogen and one part oxygen. When the combustion process heats this gas, the oxygen is released. This extra oxygen then supports the combustion of the enrichment fuel the nitrous system adds when it is engaged. The additional fuel that is burned, creates greater cylinder pressure, which makes the extra horsepower you feel.
