NOS!!! question!

if i were to hook up a nitrus oxide kit to my truck and have the switch wired to the key switch, would it help to start the truck faster since the NOS comes on whenever i crank the key??

Please put the pipe down. You are starting to have bad dreams.

Boy, where are you when you get these ideas? More important might be what are you doing when you get these ideas?

Yeah that would work great. Well until it burnt a hole in your piston because the fuel supply wasn't as fast as the NOS getting in the cylinders. Of course that might not matter if it ever backfired.....

Ken, shut up you big RICER. if you're going to refer to it as anything, please make it Nitrous, Nitrous Oxide, or n2o. NOS is a ricer term, and we dont need that here.

Eric, if you inject nitrous with no load, and at low rpms, you wont like the results. that new engine you just put in will be garbage.

Actually, "naaws" is how the ricers say it. I think Ken is refering to the nitrous oxide company...NOS, aka, Nitrous Oxide Systems.

"naaws" and "NOS" are one and the same.

I refered to it as NOS because that's what Eric posted. Trust me I know what nitrous is. The idiots that don't know any better started calling it Naahs because they were reading the NOS sticker thinking it was a word and not an abbreviation for Nitrous Oxide Systems.

Should I just revert to the old school terms of "juice" or "squeeze"....

No, cause then people might refer to you as a vegetarian.

Good point. In those days we didn't know what it meant to "purge" either....

Nitrous should not be used below 3000 RPM's. Starting the engine with nitrous triggered will cause an explosion, Bye, Bye truck.
