Nitrous = n20

NOS = nitrous oxide systems

NOS is a company that produces n20 kits for cars.  NOS is NOT an actual gas like most are tricked into believeing after watching F&F.

I believe he was asking about NOS and NITRO.

No, they are not the same thing.

NOS - Nitrous Oxide (N2O)
NITRO - Nitromethane (CH3NO2)

NITRO is what they use as fuel on funny cars. Contrary to most belief, NITRO is less energetic then gasoline (volume to volume). The differece is in the air/fuel mixture, where it takes 15 pounds of air per gallon of gasoline for proper combustion, yet it only takes 1.7 pounds of air for a gallon NITRO. Consequently, you can pack alot more fuel into a combustion stroke, resulting in greater overall power.

And if you want to run NITRO, be prepared for a fat payout, along with your bumper melting. Because NITRO doesn't combust as quickly as gasoline, therefore alot of the excess is pushed out by the cylinders and through the exhast. This is why you see fire comming out the exhast of funny cars.
