No. The increase in oxygen present in the exhaust may actually increase the efficiency of the converter. Since the use of nitrous is normally limited to 10-20 seconds of continuous use, there usually are no appreciable effects. Temperatures are typically well within acceptable standards. Not really. In most cases the percentage of increase is greater from a stock engine because it is not as efficient as the modified engine in a normal non-nitrous mode.

A. Laughing gas diluted with oxygen creates what we call “happy gas.” More percentage oxygen is available during the procedure than from room air. Nitrous oxide seems to act as a mild reversible nerve poison. Considered the safest of the anesthetic gases, nitrous oxide is a pleasant distraction for most, creating skin and gum numbness, often making the dental shot unnecessary or painless if needed. At least two B vitamins are oxidized by nitrous oxide, folic acid and vitamin B12.

A - An oxygen sensor which monitors the exhaust gases before the catalytic converter feeds a signal back to the LH computer, forming a closed loop system.- a "lambda control loop". This loop adjusts the amount of fuel injected, keeping the air/fuel ratio within the very narrow limits required in order to meet emissions standards. The cat can be contaminated by an incorrect fuel/air ratio, so this feedback loop is essential.

A It is a device which chemically converts harmful exhaust gases, produced by the internal combustion engine, into harmless carbon dioxide and water vapor. The converter was developed to meet stringent emission reduction levels as set forth by the Federal ERA and California Air Resources Board. Since the 1975 model year, vehicle manufacturers have used catalytic converters and other emission control devices, to meet those emission reduction levels.

Yes. Your comfort is at the forefront of everything we do, so we make nitrous oxide (also known as laughing gas) available to patients to help them relax or relieve anxiety. Nitrous provides a quick and safe way to allow patients to relax during long treatments in particular. Please note that if you request nitrous oxide, we will need to ask some questions about your overall health to determine if it is an appropriate method for you.

Yes you can, you will require another bank of monitors and regulators and much higher flow rates. Anesthetic usage will also quadruple.

No, we do not use "laughing gas" to anesthetize you. Our protocol is local anesthesia and analgesics to ensure your comfort. No general anesthesia is used.

Most stock fuel pumps will work adequately for smaller nitrous applications. It is important to check to see if your pump can flow enough fuel to your existing fuel system (whether carburetor or Fuel injected), as well as being able to supply the additional fuel required by the nitrous kit under full throttle conditions. It may be a good idea to dedicate a separate fuel pump to the nitrous kit.

Yes. The most important aspect is not to overindulge. Choosing the correct kit for any given application is essential; a good rule of thumb to follow is never exceed 50% power increase to your current engine output.

None, with the exception of occasional nausea if a child has eaten a large meal shortly before their dental visit.

Yes, with certain stipulations. We suggest in those cases, especially where the car requires an OBDII catalytic converter that you contact an experienced installer. Placement of the universal catalytic converter can be very critical.

Yes, it will extend the life of your existing catalytic converter by burning more of your fuel before being exhausted through your catalytic converter. The main cause for catalytic converter replacement is due to clogging by un burnt fuel. The HAFC will also increase the life of your engine by cleaning out all the built up sludge from un burnt fuel.

Generally, cams that have less exhaust overlap and more exhaust duration. However, it is best to choose a cam tailored to normal use (when nitrous is not activated) since 99% of most vehicle operations is not at full throttle. There are special cam grinds available for nitrous competition which have more aggressive exhaust profile ramping, etc. Since cam selection depends largely on vehicle weight, gearing, etc.
