NOS is high in octane! Better than any Techtroline stuff.... sniff! :)

Like I was saying before, as long as the engine is in good working order,
the NOS will be getting to all 4 cylinder relatively evenly. Each
cylinder has an intake pulse which draws in the air and NOS mixture to be
added to the fuel. NOS as particles will flow into the low pressure area
and not the first cylinder it finds. Don't work that way.  
Having said that, if the NOS nozzle is not atomizing correctly, it can
definitely cause problem like poor performance, flooded cylinders and
even melted pistons under the right conditions, ect. I recall this was a
problem on the early NOS systems but have since corrected and improved
upon their NOS systems.
