Nitrous oxide is just plain fun. That kick-in-the-pants feeling when it hits is unmistakable and adds excitement to any ride. Additional horsepower at the push of a button gives you a different feeling of acceleration than any forced-induction or high-power N/A engine. The idea of power-on-demand at an affordable price is appealing to many, and can be a viable option for the street and track.

Shortly after the earth cooled, modern man started modifying Flathead V-8 engines with upgraded cylinder heads, intakes, and camshafts. Famous names we know of today, such as Edelbrock, Offenhauser, Isky, Manley, Crane, and dozens of others can trace their beginnings back to offering speed parts for the Flathead. It was known in all the speed circles that you could easily double your Flathead’s power output with a good set of heads, a new intake with a couple of Strombergs, and of course, a camshaft from one of the greats like Harvey Crane, Ed Iskendarian, Clay Smith, or Ed Winfield. So it went, throughout the history of the muscle car era; upgrading your heads, cam, and intake/induction was an easy recipe for power.
