LOL,there was still a pile of experimenting going on with nitrous in those days.
Nitrous's benefits have been used on engines since World War 2,the Germans discovered it's benefits on piston powered fighter planes.
But it didn't hit the street car scene till around 1977 when NOS came on the scene.
I started playing with the stuff in 81,put a 125hp kit on a brand new 301 Turbo Pontiac Trans Am.
Fell in love with it then,as it made that little 301 really come alive.
Turbo engines and Nitrous make a great combination,lots of exhaust heat and velocity to spool up a Turbo almost instantly.
Car made 12,000 km's then blew up,lol.
GM warrentied the motor,to the tune of 5500 bucks back in the spring of 81:smileup:
I melted a few pistons over the years experimenting with leaning out the fuel side
Always wanted to try using Propane as the enrichment fuel,instead of gas,but never got around to it.
On paper Propane is a good enrichment fuel,it's high octane, also boils at -44F,so it's a wicked cooling agent,already vaporized when it hits the intake stream etc.
