I think everyone needs to lighten up a little I mean come on, nos, N.O.S,
either way I think you meant what he was asking, no need to make people feel stupid . There are no stupid questions, and there are better way's of correcting someone. Other than harping on the way someone spelt something. all he wanted was a opinion I believe that was it.

Just my 2cents on the whole thing,

It is actually NO2, nitrous oxide 1 nitrogen and 2 oxygen.

I think he meant nitrious oxide system N.O.S

Chemically, it's dinitrogen oxide (N(2)0). Inorganic nomenclature works as follows:

add numeric prefix to both elements, and add an "ide" to last.

Oraganic is much more difficult, as in those compounds containing Carbon.

For example, Na(2)Fl(5) would be pronounced dinitrogen pentaflouride, although these chemicals would never be stable in the afore mentioned compound due to valence orbital configuration.

on most cars you only want to add the NO2 above 3000 rpm. As you stated earler this truck is for mudding, in these conditions it is rare for your engine to hit WOT and be above 3000rpm for a time long enough to really kick in the NO2. So personly i would no get it.

As far as the word nos this is a big pet peve of mine. Nos is a company that produces products that are used for NO2, NOT nitrous oxide.

FYI, I copied this from encyclopedia.com

nitrous oxide
Related: Chemical Compounds

or nitrogen (I) oxide, chemical compound, N 2 O, a colorless gas with a sweetish taste and odor. Its density is 1.977 grams per liter at STP. It is soluble in water, alcohol, ether, and other solvents. Although it does not burn, it supports combustion since it decomposes into oxygen and nitrogen when heated. The gas is prepared commercially by the thermal decomposition of ammonium nitrate, NH 4 NO 3 , at about 240 to produce nitrous oxide and water; the reaction must be carefully controlled to prevent explosive decomposition of the nitrous oxide. The gas is purified, liquified by compressing and cooling it, and stored in metal cylinders. A major use of nitrous oxide is in anesthesia, e.g., in dentistry. It is commonly called laughing gas since it produces euphoria and mirth when inhaled in small amounts. It is also used in making certain canned pressurized foods, e.g., instant whipped cream. Nitrous oxide was discovered (1772) by Joseph Priestley, who called it “diminished nitrous air” ; he prepared it from “nitrous air” (nitric oxide, NO) by treatment with iron powder or a mixture of iron and sulfur powders. Its properties were further studied (1799) by Sir Humphry Davy
