actualy the way nitrous works... ill try to explain it for you sinse you have not a clue (i figured that out after you said that nitrous kits do not increase fuel... a motor makes power from fuel air and spark.. as you ad one you need to add the others to make up for it.. in other words... you add a turbo... you need some type of fmu BECAUSE the turbo is forcing in more air more air means that more fuel can be added... too much fuel the motor runs rich, too little and the motor runs lean and detonates, or pings.. adn eventualy breaks..

When you heat nitrous oxide to about 565 degrees (im pretty sure that is the temp, i MAY be SLIGHTLY off) it begins to break down... it breaks down into nitrogen and oxygen (obviously)..so when you "spray" nitrous oxide into the motor more oxygen is available during combustion. Because you have more oxygen, you can also inject more fuel, allowing the same engine to produce more power. but you MUST compensate for the added oxygen by adding more fuel.. or you will lean out..
