The Power of Nitrous Oxide

On television yesterday I was watching "import car drag racing." Their little 4 cylinders were tuning 11 and 12 second quarter mile times. The motors were getting 300 to 400 horsepower. One thing they all had in common - they were running nitrous systems. Then they showed all the blown motors from poor tuning, not enough fuel pressure - many different causes. Nitrous works great and can turn a good running stock motor into a race motor, for a few seconds anyway. Leave it on a little too long and - boom . . . shit starts bending and breaking.
Like connecting rods !
