NOS - It's the sticker that a ricer puts on his car to go fast!

right! i found the ricer philosophy on a website once: stickers = horsepower, yellow = horsepower, so big yellow stickers = big horsepower!
NOS is great stuff, because gm made it when they made the original trucks, so it is oretty much a gauranteed perfect fit, depending on how much your vehicle has warped over the years!

Ricers are funny. Don't forget that massive loud exhaust tip. That must be worth another 25 HP!

Oh, NOS could also mean Nitrous Oxide Systems. It's a brand name that makes nitrous set-ups. They also make those stickers that make ricers go fast.
