I know that nitrous effectively raises the compression ratio of the engine its used on but is there a formula to figure out what the compression ratio would be changed to per a given shot of spray?

how does N2O raise the CR ? it dosent change the bore, the stroke, head volume....-Aaron, AKA ATL2001<br />93 3.4L <br /><a href=\"http://www.ilfba.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.ilfba.com</a> -
i dont think it raises compresion. you want to lower the compression if your doing a big shot to avoid detonation.2002 NBM Pontiac Firebird Formula<br />Mods: stock...<br />1997 Chevy Camaro *Gone*<br />Mods:Borla,headers,Magnaflow cat, SLP intake, NOS 5175Comment

There's static compression and dynamic compression. It wouldn't change the static compression. Because of the cooling effect on the intake charge (making it more dense), it might be considered to change the dynamic compression. I don't know of a formula for it.
It will definitely increase the cylinder pressure.\'98 A4 Camaro v6->v8 conversion, and STS kit next<br />v6: 13.6 Powerdyne, 13.2 150 shot, 13.8 120 shot, 14.3 85 shot, 15.7 stock<br />v8(na): 12.18@113, 392rwhp<br />Moderator on <a href=\"http://www.mtfba.org\" target=\"_blank\">www.mtfba.org</a> and <a href=\"http://www.frrax.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.frrax.com</a> (Road Race & Autocross)<br /><a href=\"http://community.webshots.com/user/johnduncan10\" target=\"_blank\">Car pics</a>, <a href=\"http://www.trscca.com\" target=\"_blank\">TN Region SCCA</a>Comment

I know there is a formula for this. Anyone else know?Comment

You are thinking of cylinder pressure, not CR.
And yes, nitrous send your cylinder pressure through the freakin' roof.1999 red camaro v6 M5: with a turbo<br />13.52@107.99<br />No, seriously: Who Farted? <br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/600086\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/600086</a>Comment

Actually, I am thinking about cylinder pressure and the dynamic compression ratio. Since the nitrous is sooo cold, it make the air more denser thereby increasing the dynamic compression ratio.Originally posted by malice10985:

I've heard.... from nitrous guys at the track.... it makes the car act like a much higher compression car.
I heard rumors.... 20 to 1+
No proof though
Not aware of any formula eitherRace car - gone but not forgotten - 1997 firebird V6

I’m new. I actually don’t own a Camaro or firebird. I do have a 2000 Camaro 3.8 fly by throttle and 4l60e. This is installed in a 1980 Triumph TR7...3 weeks ago -
Not much going on, replaced my Kenwood double din stereo with a Pioneer double din, the Kenwood had problems. Then replaced my power inverter for my reverse...3 weeks ago
