Either way it's going to mix with fuel. I think Bill was saying that the
mix would be better if it was upstream, though it would be the mix of the
amount of oxygen. Oh well, an oxygen molecule is an oxygen molecule is an
oxygen molecule. Burn, baby, burn! :-)

Subject: Re: DML: nitrous install
Nitrous isn't 'fuel', it's 'AIR'. No carbons or hydrogens. Think about
it: one nitrogen and two oxygens. It like a super charger in that it
supplies more air burnable air. Its up to your fuel system to match
that with fuel for combustion. It should be upstream of the TB.
Am I wrong here?
