A system and method for introducing auxiliary oxygen into a combustion engine employs a conduit to establish fluid communication between a source of auxiliary oxygen and at least one dispensing outlet that is associated with the intake assembly of the engine. A controllable valve is associated with the conduit and is operative to selectively vary the flow of oxygen to the intake assembly. A pressure regulator may be used to control the pressure at which the auxiliary oxygen is delivered. The valve may be switched, for example by a solenoid, between states permitting the flow of oxygen and prohibiting the flow of oxygen. The switch may be associated with a computerized engine control unit or mechanical throttle controls. An override switch may be connected in parallel with the valve switch, and an on/off master switch may be connect in series with the valve switch.
