Default Nitrous

After reading this forum 4 year and all the good information I learn I have seen blowers multiple carburetors fuel injection but never saw anything about nitrous on a flat head so what's up with that

Nitrous on A flathead has been used with great success on the salt flats. There's no reason it would not work on the street if that's what your wondering. Doing it so it works well allowing the engine to survive will only take a lot of special talents, parts {not made in china} and lots of money.

Reading the latest hotrod mag today and there's an article on compressed air supercharging. Basically a couple of dive bottles in the boot (trunk) some regulators and solenoids, hit the gas and all hell brakes loose. Made a tired small block chev with 450hp put out close to 800hp. Theres plenty of room on my pickup bed for bottles, now there's a project for old Ron or JWL. Hey Brian is the warranty on my 284 voided if I strap a dive bottle on. Cheers Tony.

Running pure oxygen and some kind of ejector setup for forcing air into the manifold or a pressurised system for running 1/4 mile ??
