one part nitrogen and 3 parts hydrogen
N2 is inert and would tend to quench the combustion process rather than enhance it.
very true, N2 (nitrogen in its natural state) is inert..
did you know the nitrous oxide, (yes laughing gas, from the fast and furious) is N2O??
now don't you tell me THAT is inert...
its TWO parts nitrogen and only ONE part oxgen. Hydrogen is a lot more combustable than oxgen.
Now if you really want a punch, then instead of using N20, you use O2, straight oxgen. The only problem is that it makes your engine run a bit too hot...... 
spot on dazza
you could also use the ammonia you get from the shops in bottles, which is NH3 + H20 which equals NH4+OH (ammonia hydroxide or liquid ammonia). add on part oxygen to now 5 parts hydrogen with nitrogen to carry and stabilise it and you have i think what ANDRA might refer to as a "power adder".
makes nitrous oxide look like pump fuel.
