Default Oxygen Injection

I was doing some reading a saw a guy talking about using a propane injection system to inject oxygen instead Got me thinking this would be like adding another turbo without adding one wouldn't it. Whats it cost for a tank of oxygen? anyone know. I have a good idea on the cost of the propane injection and the blown motor if it doesn't work
Whats your thoughts on this guys

Call a local welding shop to get prices on oxygen. Only problem is... Im pretty sure that there are laws against having compressed gas tanks on a vehicle without the caps on... not sure. I have a service truck and I have cutting torches on it and my dad said that we have to leave the regulators off and the caps on... but in theory... sounds like a not bad idea

Sounds like a good idea, but I have to say that o2 cylinders are pretty dangerous. Legal or not, you'd definitely want to build a fat cage around it to make sure the valve doesn't get busted off. in case of an accident.

itd be cheaper and easier to run nitrious, nitrious is an oxidzier, increases the bonding of the oxygen and fuel molecules. Also not only is it illegel to run a non DOT approved tank on the highway, most businesses around no longer will sale Oxygen tanks straight out, they make you sign a lease agreement of 28 cents a day, we got lucky and already owned our torch kit and have for decades. guys got a good idea, but hes asking for trouble, especially if caught

Don't do it.

There is a reason the Germans used nitrous oxide during WW2 on their planes.....too many exploded and fell out of the sky when they tried oxygen.

Do the research...pure oxygen is extremely dangerous and has no place anywhere near an internal combustion engine.

**Note** If you want to see what pure oxygen can do....watch the space shuttle launch.
