What the hell are you talking about? Learn yourself some history, son.

Finally, in the 1970s, nitrous "came out of the closet". It was the hot topic of conversation. Especially since a number of entrepreneurs brought systems to market that were highly erratic, at best. It was at this point in time when a couple of successful automotive technicians and racers, Mike Thermos and Dale Vaznaian, saw there was a potential for nitrous -done right.


In 1978 Mike and Dale formed Nitrous Oxide Systems, Inc., and the rest is history. They didn't invent nitrous oxide -they simply perfected its use and elevated it to a position of prominence in the automotive performance community.

The company was then aquired by Holly (you know, the carburetor company? Yeah, them.) and has been sold as under the licensed brand name NOS ever since.

...Immediately following the purchase from Coltec, Holley set out to do just that--to be a larger, more aggressive company--and to stamp its role as the heart and soul of performance. Several strategically important company buy-outs materialized that included Hirel Technologies Fuel Injection, Weiand Automotive Industries and Lunati. These initial purchases were later followed with Hooker Headers, Flowtech and Airmass exhaust products, NOS nitrous systems...

While you could indeed pop the hood on many Fords and find a Holly carb, Holly wasn't ever owned by Ford - they merrily enjoyed a cozy working relationship with FoMoCo.
