 Ordinary air is 21% O2, 78% N2, nearly all the rest is argon, and then traces of everything else. 
Adding just O2 will make more power, but it will also drive up combustion temperatures a LOT, increase flame speed a LOT, etc. N2O has the advantage of adding O2, but, being a liquid under pressure, cools a fair bit upon injection, and the dissociation needed to get that extra energy manages flame speed quite nicely.

You probably would not like to go to 33% O2, but 26%, up  from 21 would be 
OK
 
 
I thought the oxygen content of air was closer to 14 or 16%.
