Does nitrous clean the motor out, I sprayed a half bottle threw it and it seems to run smoother now? The car loves the stuff...

LOL ,I guess it would if not set up right. On the other hand, after spraying my first couple of times, the next time out on motor I ran my best ever NA pass. Could have been better air, but I think the nitrous cleaning had something to do with it also.

N2O does not break down into nitrogen and oxygen until it reaches about 600*F, so its unlikely that it would affect anything up to and including the intake valve. Its sure going to clean your plugs off if you have a "too hot" plug... but that might include removing the ground strap as well.

Shell is currently advertising "nitogen fortified" gasoline. How would a gas that doesn't burn "fortify" gasoline? When you check into what they are actually selling, its a nitrogen-based detergent compound (additive) that is supposed to clean the valves..... misleading advertising at best.

Thats what im saying, it seems to have more power n/a now?

haha

I didnt take any short cuts, so it should be safe right ? FPSS, pulled -3 of timing, a/f ratio is at 11.8-12.0 tr6 @.036 and I only run 93 octane. Im more worried about the glass tranny taking a dump...
