What is Nos?
1.
Noun.
1) An acronym for the brand name 'Nitrous Oxide Systems'. NOS produces a chemical known as nitrous oxide, often used in the performance optimization of car and motorcycle engines. The chemical (N2O) breaks up upon contact with air, releasing extra oxygen into the engine.

This means the engine will pack a harder punch than it typically would, in the form of an instant flywheel horsepower gain.
