Internal combustion, sparks fly, gas burns up, there is power generated for an engine.
Has anyone tried to inject a gas into the Pistons in besides bursts of nitrous oxide?
Have Bonnevillesalts flats record setters used a certain gas, as in oxygen, hydrogen, etc. ?

Well youre missing one key part, oxygen.
Thats the idea of turbos & superchargers. Ram more air into the engine, then add fuel to maintain proper AFR, more power assuming the engine is built for it.
Nitrous oxide basically does the same thing, but instead of physically pressurized air, it enters the engine as a liquid that quickly gets converted into a gas, and the N2O molecules split into nitrogen and oxygen. Thus, putting more oxygen in the engine (you need to increase fuel delivery too, same as you would have to with a turbo/SC).
By pistons I'm assuming you mean cylinders, most nitrous systems inject at the carbonator/throttle body, or the intake runners right before the head.
You cannot inject gas into pistons cause pistons are solid metal parts.
