Free Downloads Nitrous Oxide Performance Handbook (Motorbooks Workshop)
Nitrous oxide's incredible horsepower-per-dollar value makes it one of the most popular ways to boost engine performance. Done improperly, though, this “cheap” thrill can come at a steep price; the information in this book might make all the difference between having a blast with nitrous and having a real blast—and leaving expensive engine parts strewn all over the road. This handbook explains how nitrous oxide works, and how to make it work for you. The author, an expert on the subject, gives clear, step-by-step instructions for installing and using a successful nitrous system in either carbureted or fuel-injected, computerized cars—from preparing your engine for nitrous oxide applications to tuning it for maximum performance and safe operation. He also tracks some more advanced nitrous tuning techniques through test data and case studies. His book is the ultimate resource for anyone who wants to cheaply, safely, and wildly boost horsepower at the push of a button.

THE thickest book out there on the subject of nitrous. I only wish it a larger troubleshooting section and doesn't mention Zex at all. Not as heavy on the marketing like some other books out there. I'd like to recommend this over the other books out right now, but they do have helpful information as well. Definitely get this but consider looking at other ones too just for references.
I bought this book hoping to get a little background on the practical aspects of using nitrous oxide. I wasn't disappointed. Good info on manufacturers of nitrous system components. Specific examples of nitrous systems and their performance. It also covers the electrical system aspect of nitrous injection. Plenty of data tables and charts on the properties of nitrous oxide. For the amateur rocket scientist this is a great resource.
Great book. All the theory and practice of performance enhancement. Forced induction also covered. Pitfalls of Nitrous aslo provided. Well done.
Very detailed on nitrous but not much on installation.
lots of good info. I wish I had this book before I started messing around with nitrous
As Nitrous supercharging is complicated, the is a good manual on all the basics whether a cabureted or fuel injectedengine.
