Message	If I am not mistaken, there are other companies that make nitrous oxide. Why do most people call nitrous oxide "nos"? Nitrous Oxide Systems is a company. They make other products besides nitrous oxide setups (i.e. octane booster). I hear people call nitrous oxide, in general, "NOS". They do this when there are referring to other companies' nitrous oxide. This is like going into Sears looking for a lawn mower and saying " I am looking for a Craftsman". Or "I am going to go ride my Craftsman to day". I don't know. That movie "Fast and the Furious" really did this a lot.
