: 1st of all Nitrous Oxide is Laughing gas and is sold in kits that you can insall in your intake system to cool the air charge going into the cylinder prior to combustion, to increase power, a cooler charge of are is a more dense charge of air = more fuel air mixture = more power.
: 2nd Nito Glycerine is Dynamite in liquid form you cannot by this over the counter. Top fuel drag racers use a dirivitve of this called nitro methane, it is very expencive and you can't run it in your regular engine because it is too volital and will melt your piston's.
: If your looking for more power cheeply then the Nitrous Oxide is you best bet but your engine will not last as long useing it.
: A blower is easy'er on the engine but they are very expensive. If you build the engine right you won't need Nitruous or a blower to beat most any street car around. Good luck and try not to blow any thing up.
: : I heard that Nitro Glycerine is harder to obtain than Nitrous oxide.Does Nitrous make more combustion than Nitro Clycerine? Which should I install in my 72 Comet ?
SO you're saying if i rebuild my engine about 50 times without installing it once it will beat any 302 ?
