Ive been wondering, ould a ramjet use Nitrisoxides? For a power boost? I plan on making a ramjet powered go kart and i though about using N2O for power bosts. I was thinking about using a N2O veturi in the flameholder. THen when i need aboost flip the switch and use nitro. But would it work?

Probably, but it would probalby be just as effective to spray some fuel or water into the exhaust.

Ramjets need speed to work, far more speed than you would feel comfortable with in a go cart. You would also have to have some way of reaching this insane speed before you can start the ram jet. Go for a pulse jet or pressure jet instead, they are better suited for the job.
