all nitrous is a nitrogen hydrogen. you cant run pure oxygen in a motor so its mixed. as long as you run more fuel with more oxygen, the car will never blow up.

run colder plugs and bigger injectors and you basically will never have to worry about blowing your motor.

the thing is, by the time your gauge tells you that your running lean, you might have already done damage to the piston rings.

So i think running more fuel would be more of a safer idea then just a wideband alone
