"medical grade" doesn't have the **** in it to stop you from sniffing it... as far as functionality in a motor... doubtful it makes a diff.

non-medical grade has sulfer added. it takes away the effect of nitrous oxide on human beings. it would be no better for you car to use medical grade.

I wonder what difference Entinox would make? It's 50% Oxygen, 50% Nitrous

It would use your pistons as fuel. Not a good idea.

non-medical nitrous adds 10 ppm sulfar to keep people like you from huffing it. you can still huff it, it will just taste like ***.

Car related nitrous: Sulfur is added to help people sniffing the leak ( what I read, I doubt on that source tho)

Medical grade nitrous : Hell it's way more costly, near perfect mix everytime you use it, no sulfur in it.

I don't think you'll see improuvement in switching to this since it's the oxygen in the nitrous that make the car go, and you don't have more oxygen in medical / car related nitrous...

The sulfer dioxide in "non-medical" grade nitrous leaves deposits in your catalitic converter after using it over a period of time, were as the sulfer free "medical" grade nitrous doesn't leave such deposits.

You mean you guys still run catalytic converters?

Not only are they bad for performance, they are bad for the environment. The EPA is a bunch of dumbasses, you do not spew heavy metal particulate as a solution to CO and NOx emissions.

the place down the street from me sells medical grade for $5/lb

better for your motor, IMHO

less oil acidity and it becomes close to being untraceable if you are having 'warranty' issues with the dealer and they send your oil to be tested

thats about how much it costs around here in nj the cheapest i found was 35 bucks but it felt like the bottle didnt last as long as my first bottle.

i heard some places put way more air in them to keep it look like its pressurized nicely. anyone kno in nj where i can get the bottle filled affordably nice.

pat musi in carteret, roodrunners performance on 35 in avenel

4.00 or 4.50 a lb is normal price. pat musi's shop is pretty amazing, lots of pretty motors there none of this 4an line ***** neither big blocks with BIG nitrous .

he also has the paperwork necessary to get your n2o permit(which he expects you to have to opurchase) roadrunners doesn't care about a permit.

p.s. come hunting to atco on friday.....

I love in Idaho and in my town you can only get it for $35 but there are two other towns that it only cost around 20-25 to fill a 10/lb bottle.

from what i understand, medical grade is CHEAPER than car-grade b/c it doesn't have as much or even any sulfer in it. I filled my bottle up at L & M Engines in Hatboro and was talking to the owner for a while, and he said he was in the process of trying to get medical grade b/c it's like 1 dollar cheaper per pound. I paid 4.00/lb there.

b/c they were so accomodating: L & M Engines in Hatboro, PA is serious place. I'm sure most people have never heard of them, but they are experienced and skilled with EVERY god damn machine possible to assemble engines to spec. They mostly do huge demestic work, but also work on imports and know about them. anyone looking for a place to build their race engine the right way and to spec, check them out. I've never seen the machines they had there at any "performance garage" i've ever been to. for them being experienced, knowledgable, and meticulous in engine building and internal work.
