The Nitrous Express in Bikes & Motorcycle Directory

    

Now lets get to who NX really is, I’m Mike Wood. I own 100 of Nitrous Express and have been involved with the nitrous phenomenon since 1978. I started with a small nitrous kit on my TransAm. I thought this is the greatest thing since the invention of the automobile Soon thereafter I installed an original blue bottle direct port kit on my racecar, man was I disappointed. It popped, and backfired all the way down the track and tore up more parts than I could afford Out of necessity I got involved with the science and hardware used with nitrous oxide. I soon discovered the design flaws in the system, corrected them and earned a reputation of being the “Go to Guy” if you wanted to run nitrous. This was pretty easy, in 1979 few people in the racing world had even heard of nitrous. After working out the bugs in my racecar’s nitrous kit I decided that something needed to be done about controlling the tremendous power that nitrous could produce. Camshafts seemed like the logical place to start, by increasing or decreasing certain parameters of camshaft design we thought we could get a handle on the power curve and apply it to the track in a more suitable manner. We were involved in the camshaft development phase of nitrous usage throughout the early 1980’s. We experimented with what has become the standard in camshaft designs today. Wide lobe centers, huge exhaust lobes, outrageous duration numbers; nothing was too weird to try.
