ABSTRACT:
A nitrous-oxide system for an engine includes a nozzle coupled to a nitrous-oxide bottle by a nitrous oxide line. A nitrous-oxide valve is coupled to the nitrous-oxide line between the nitrous-oxide bottle and the nozzle. A control switch, operatively coupled to the nitrous-oxide valve. A pressure regulator, coupled to the nitrous-oxide line between the nitrous-oxide bottle and the nozzle, and is capable of regulating pressure of the nitrous-oxide. The nozzle can be positioned adjacent a carburetor inlet to force nitrous-oxide into a carburetor throat.
