CLOSE HERE IS THE DIFFERENCE. ACTUALLY I WILLPUT IT TO YOU THIS WAY AND YOU SHOULD FIGURE IT OUT PRETTY EASILY. WHY NOT JUST INJECT STRAIGHT OXYGEN INTO THE MOTOR INSTEAD OF NITROUS? AND WHY NOT PLAIN AIR?
Forgive me but I don't know what difference you are referring to. Please explain what you mean.

Plain air would be cheaper than nitrous. It would have more nitrogen, therefore it would have more of this "buffering" but provide less power than NOS.

Straight oxygen would have no nitrogen "buffering" but provide more power than NOS.
