[Healeys] Shell Nitrogen Enriched Gas

[Robert Blair]

John, I would say that N2 is very inert on the input side of the engine - as someone said air is about 80% N2.  The damaging part is the N byproducts after burning NO et al.

I do not understand the N2 promo - they should have called it O2 - maybe a marketing goof ......
