NO2 (Nitrous dioxide) is more effective than N2O at lighting a fire

It should work very well if it can be delivered in a non-corosive way.

Nitrogen dioxide, NO2, Physical properties, safety, MSDS, enthalpy, material compatibility, gas liquid equilibrium, density, viscosity, flammability, transport properties

It would accelerate the flame front, if it could be stored in adequate QTYs it would work very well at leaning out WOT enough that one could add some more fuel.

Ah well.
