Nitrous Oxide - Comparison To Other Performance Products: Dollar for dollar, nitrous oxide offers the most performance a consumer can buy. You could spend thousands of dollars on Carburetion, a manifold, valve train components, Exhaust, pistons, Polishing And Porting, Supercharging, or Turbo Charging to get the same amount of extra horsepower that a nitrous system would provide for just a few hundred dollars. But this doesn't mean you won't benefit if you also install other performance parts. Once you have installed a nitrous system, all those other performance parts just increase the nitrous power. If you just have a few dollars and want lots of extra power, the best choice is an NOS nitrous system.
