Engines run on oxygen and fuel. The more of both at the proper ratio, the more power, until mechanical failure, that is.

Nitrous *Oxide* (N2O) contains oxygen that will happily split from the nitrogen and react with the burning hydrocarbons (fuel) in an engine. The more fuel and oxygen an engine can burn, the more power it can make. Nitrous Oxide Systems force pressurized N2O into the engine along with extra fuel, which boosts power beyond normal passive air intakes and even turbo/superchargers, which pressurize normal atmospheric gases for intake into the engine.
