Interesting theory?
Fact or fiction?
Important or not?
Discuss..............
The science behind the second idea is a bit fuzzy (long time since my last Chemistry class), but when you split a nitrous molecule you get a single free oxygen atom. Compare this to the Oxygen in atmospheric air which is primarily O2 (two oxygen atoms bonded to together) Free Oxygen atoms do not tolerate that state very long, and this would likely react more quickly that the more stable O2 molecule.
Could this be a factor in large nitrous doses?

The single molecule O is very unstable and only stays that way for milliseconds before bonding with something. Reduction it's called.
Maybe try spraying H2O2 instead of water in the intake. That adds O.
