I'm not a chemical engineer but I was once a chemist. The nitrous oxide is 
not the fuel, its the oxygenate that allows the fuel to burn faster and 
hotter. I haven't tried it in a car, but we used it a lot in the lab, mixed 
with acetylene to provide a hotter flame than the standard air-acetylene 
mixture we used for most atomic absorption applications.
