I have a 5hp minibike with comet tav2 torque converter, I got it up to 37.6 (i have a bike speedometer mounted) today on a straight strech and thats as fast as it'll go. I just ordered a nitrous oxide kit for pocket bikes and I figure it will add about 4-6 mph to my top speed but i was wondering how much speed gains i could get by mounting 3 model rocket engines with 80 newton-seconds of force each. thats 240 newton seconds, spread out for about 2 seconds so its really 120 newtons for two seconds. anyone tryed something like this?

gearing, then horsepower.
if he's topping out at 37.6, chances are he won't go much faster and will probably grenade his motor trying. if the rockets did end up working, the engine will just over rev and probably get damaged too.
the carb is going to need to be re-jetted as well for the nitrous. you don't just stick it on and go.

Ahhh the old saying is still true today.
"there's NO replacement for displacement"\
Find a larger engine and change your gearing
put two engines on it........and change your gearing
or best yet just get an old single cylinder snowmobile engine as it will be a 2-stroke is should really get up and go
A freshly rebuilt 2-stroke will run circles around most any 4-stroke of comparable size even if the 4-stroke is running nitrous.
(the nitrous 4-stroke would detonate long before a 2-stroke needed a rebuild)

Sounds like you want to go fast drag racing, try this, take your engine off and clamp an oxygen cylinder between yur frame tubes with the valve end out the back. When the flag man drops his arms knock the valve off with a four pound hammer and HANG ON!!! nobody will catch you and you should be out of thrust by the end of the quarter mile, oh yes a parachute is advisable! And by all means.......get it on film!
Some of the Rotax motors that they use on ultralight aircraft are reasonably quiet with a muffler installed. While you're at it look for one with the propeller and fan guard still attached and mount the whole thing on the back of your mini. No chains, no sprockets, no clutches, and all that room where the old motor used to sit for a cooler. Ogy
Why not rockets and nitrous? And why just 3 rockets? Heck, there's got to be room for a dozen or more on the bike, plus one under each arm. Be sure the camera's rolling because you'll probably only get one chance! Or, just send away for one of these pulse jet bikes. It's for real, and made right here in Oregon. There are lots more videos of this on youtube.
