However, I will have 3 new books in about a week: 1) Maximum Boost : Designing, Testing, and Installing Turbocharger Systems by Corky Bell 2) Sport Compact Nitrous Injection by Joe Pettitt 3) Supercharging, Turbocharging, & Nitrous Oxide Performance Handbook (Powerpro) by Earl Davis, Diane Davis You suck! P.S. Thanks Best Regards, Trevor Cole New Edge Cougar Forums

Forced induction is a manner of getting more air into the chamber for a larger explosion (requires more gas also). Nitrous does not qualify. Have you put in your $0.02 to save contour.org?? Put in what you can spare to keep the site up. Check the General Forum. ~~~~~~ David * 2k Black SVT on 17" Konig/Yokohama * MB Quart all around; Alpine 7995, DEI/Alpine amps; Dynomat Soon to come: 19" HRE 445s under GC/Koni Setup, Custom passive-AWD kit, 2 small Sequential Turbos running low boost, Sequential 6-speed, Widebody Kit, custom black-red chameleon paint; on and on...

When you inject N2O into your intake it is true that you are not pressurizing your intake mainfold, or forcing more air into the engine from the atmosphere. What you are doing is adding massive amounts of oxygen into your engine, thus requiring timing retard and added fuel(two things you HAVE TO DO ALSO WITH FORCED INDUCTION). So, yes, it isn't, but it is. :p Ohsigmachi '96 GL MTX Zetec SS (SuperSleeper) Suffice it to say my mod list has become so long that it is just ridiculous

If that's not "forced induction" I don't know what is... Think before YOU post... Anthony Thomas '01 Dodge Neon R/T (stock) 15.8@87
