A system which uses Nitrous Oxide (N2O) to increase the power created by an automobile engine. Nitrous Oxide is made of Nitrogen and Oxygen. By putting more Oxygen and Gasoline into a cylinder, the engine is able to create more power. Nitrous Oxide when burned releases oxygen, thus it is a very convenient way to add oxygen to the cylinder, but for it to be effective more gasoline must be added to the cylinder with the Nitrous Oxide.
