I will be the first to say I know absolutely nothing about NOS (except it's fun to ride in a car with one); but from a chemistry stand-point, I would have to disagree with this statement.

Nitrogen burns much hotter and faster than oxygen, hence the power. When a car runs rich off gas, oxygen is the limiting reactant. Add forced nitrogen, you get a leaner running car that can utilize the extra gas. Now I know there's a difference in where the gas is injected/mixed and where the gas is burned, but I can't see a much hotter, much faster burning air/fuel mixture cooling down any manifold. The engine heat should (theoretically) do nothing but rise...right into the (everybody knows) crap-asss plastic manifold.

Now, you guys go back at it, hell, flame me for all I care. It makes these long restless days at work a little more interesting.
