They use NO2.

Nitrous oxide is made up of 2 molecules of nitrogen and one molecule of oxygen (36% oxygen by weight). During the combustion process, at about 570 degrees F, nitrous breaks down and releases oxygen. This extra oxygen creates additional power by enabling more fuel to be burned. Nitrogen acts to buffer the increased cylinder pressures helping to control the combustion process. Nitrous also has a tremendous "cooling" effect by reducing air intake charge temperatures by 55 to 85 degrees F.
