Message	which is actually nitric oxide, a highly corrosive gas that would eat your engine from the inside out if you decided to aspirate your car with it. IT would do the same thing to your lungs as well, except you wouldnt walk away from it. They'd carry you off to have a custom box made for you and you'd win a small area of real estate with a marker and your name on it, free of charge. BTW: Nitrous oxide is N20. two parts nitrogen to one part oxygen. : 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. My CarPuter Headquarters: [ ashleypowers.com ] agpowers@bellsouth.net
