That is what you would think. But when you take into consideration the extremely cool mixture of alcohol and nitrous together, it makes you wonder if the mixture is too cool for the most efficient burn.
The 1/2 rated theory is referenced from a book I read. The name of the book is:
Nitrous Oxide Injection by David Vizard. Published by S-A Design.
I might add that the book also made it clear that not a lot of information about the use of nitrous and alcohol was available.
