..we've all seen them. claims of an extra 25+ hp. found this video of a 91Z that proves what they do...not a damn thing. dont be fooled into getting one

I came to this thread at first trying to think of something to say to keep you from getting flamed to death, glad I didn't have to because I couldn't think of anything. lol

lmao yeah i just thought incase someone needed proof that they dont work

There was a video I saw a while back of back to back dyno runs and they used a 2 stroke leaf blower and stuck it in the intake and it actually made more power. But that wasnt electric and I still wouldnt even think about putting one on a car ever. Go turbo.

did you see them giving the sonoma a wiff of NOS through the leaf blower?? Thats crazy shit! Makes sense though.

ok I got my leaf blower all rigged to my car, how do I start it from the drivers seat?? haha?

I was waiting for the nos to ignite and blow that fucker into the roof

if you look at the light under the hood on the sonoma the nos is going all around it, surprised they never blew that roof sky high

i was pretty sure thats what i saw spraying but i wasnt sure

by my understanding NOS is simply an oxidizer and doesn't burn on its own (goes to reason, it is just oxygen and nitrogen to help dampen the oxygen, it also has a trace amount of sulfer to help keep people from huffing it, med grade is lacking the sulfer )

Therefore, you would have to have an open fire to get any kind of explosion. A controlled, enclosed burn, such as inside an engine and you shouldn't have any kind of explosion. I am sure there are some exceptions to the rule, ie: an extremely rich running engine, or even oil blowby and you could end up with a hell of a fire.

I would have loved to have seen what his O2 sensor was reading when they shot it with NOS. Damn that thing had to go way way lean!

How NOS works

When you heat nitrous oxide to about 570 degrees F (~300 C), it splits into oxygen and nitrogen. So the injection of nitrous oxide into an engine means that more oxygen is available during combustion. Because you have more oxygen, you can also inject more fuel, allowing the same engine to produce more power. When it vaporizes, nitrous oxide provides a significant cooling effect on the intake air. When you reduce the intake air temperature, you increase the air's density, and this provides even more oxygen inside the cylinder.

we did something like that a few years ago, on my 89 silverado. we first installed a second altenator, on its own circuit to a battery. had a 2" squirrel cage blower fan. used a lower airbox off a daytona shelby z, was a perfect fit to the outlet of the fan, and has a nice curve to it, right into a 3" outlet, i had an FIPK system on the truck, with a 3" inlet. ran a short piece of pipe, and couplers, voila, mounted a switch in the dash.

baseline dyno of 235hp

with the squirrel cage fan dooohicky, 244hp

it was wicked. lol and not worth the little power.

so we ripped it off, and i resumed in putting my edelbrock TBI setup on it, 246hp on the dyno
