I can see your point, and I don't mean this in a derogatory way, but when you "dumb it down" to laymen's terms, it just adds to the confusion and fear factor of nitrous without the proper facts, especially coming from a respected vendor like yourself. I'm a nitrous fan if you can't tell . Please mods, don't take this as namecalling and put me in time out

I still stand by my original statement that nitrous is just methanol on steroids. It offers similar advantages as methanol, only in greater proportions. Different precautions will need to be taken compared to methanol, but not "more" precautions, and they're both just as dangerous, only in a different way. When the methanol bottle goes empty, your engine goes boom. When the nitrous bottle goes empty, you foul your plugs. as a for instance. Or, if you spray a big shot of nitrous without backing off timing, your engine goes boom, but if you spray a big shot of methanol without backing out timing (assuming you don't raise boost pressure), you're just leaving hp on the table. It's just different, but no more dangerous. The key is to get a proper tune for either setup. And don't try to spray a 200 shot, just like you wouldn't try to run 40#'s of boost on meth. A 50 shot of nitrous would have comparable results as a methanol kit if both are tuned properly. And both will be safe with a proper tune AND the proper safety features each system needs.

And I'm a chemical engineer, not a chemist. Way different

The use of the verbiage "frozen" was a poor choice when being read by a group of "chemists" however a laymen IMO would understand the explanation better and could relate "frozen" to "cold" and not in the terms of "liquid-gas-solid".

oh, one more thing to add.... nitrous is not a flammable substance like methanol. That's a hard concept to accept, but it's true. It just provides a more appealing atmosphere for flammable things like gasoline or methanol to combust.
