I get most of my engine stuff (turbos, intercoolers, etc...) from Apexi, i was wondering were you got your turbo?
This car we ran the 9.0 with, is none TURBO, no boost. Just N/A power with nitrous oxide pushing the rotors to the Xtreme.

Pure oxygen also makes things catch fire that don't usually catch fire. I'm an aircraft mechanic and when we service the breathing oxygen on military aircraft, you have to be careful about static and grease. Nitrous Oxide is way more stable for use in a combustion chamber like in a car. Also, you ever notice those trucks on the highway with the triangle placards on them when they have oxygen bottles chained to the back? There are DOT regulations on the transportation of oxygen because of its ability to promote fires and huge *** explosions.

Hey, Im an aircraft mech too. The reason pure oxygen would be so dangerous is that it causes an auto igntion event when it comes into contact with oil, grease, gasoline. So if you had an underhood leak. KABOOM, no more car, no more driver.
