    Has anyone messed with nitrous on the Prius? For those that have what's the most you've thrown at it?

    You asking about nitrous for the driver? LOL

    Interesting question, and I would like to know if the transmissions can handle the power increase.

    I think (can’t prove) the Atkinson Cycle engine would not take kindly to nitrous, due to the weird stroke cycle it employs. It would be akin to pulling the pin on a hand grenade.
