Been alot of people ask about NOS before, no one has ever tried it. Get it done properly tho because the results of a bodged job are potentially explosive!!

and theres your first mistake, thinking the cheap kits will suffice or generally being clueless.

fitting nos to cars could cause a big bang but fitting to a two wheeled machine when your sat right above it is lethal if done incorrectly,

i suggest you go and do some research.

no, it needs to be done properly beacuse its massive fire/explosion hazard

This explains it quite well

But the basic danger is that when the nitrogen and oxygen burn, the byproduct is more oxygen which on its own is a perfect fuel and is very cumbustible! Get the quantities wrong and you have a potential bomb!

Yeah your right. My point is tho that pure oxygen burns very well.
