List,
Every time someone talks about nitrous I think of the Firebird Gary Aikers
(sp?) and Eric Steggemeyer (sp?)(now of NO2 Systems) ran at World of speed
ten years ago. The engine was a John Lingenfelter production. The four 40
lb nitrous bottles in the back window of that car looked like the fuel for
some rocket plane. They were running a 350 cubic inch engine with dual
turbochargers on GAS and using the nitrous as a coolant ONLY on the
intercoolers for the turbochargers. Nothing ingested into the engine but
very cold clean air and racing gas they claimed. Only went 296 mph.
