Default 500-600 shot + 10lb bottle????

If I run a nano system and a 3 stage DP off 1 10lb bottle will it be enough to get me down the track one pass safely? Or would you suggest stepping it up to 2 10 lb bottles? Im looking at keeping my weight as low as possible but the extra couple lbs is obviously worth my motor safety and the performance. Also do I need a pressure gauge for each stage or just per bottle? The sensor(s) will be going at the Y for each kit the goes to the 2 nitrous solenoids.

I know all the outlaw guys spraying the big shots 500+ hp of nitrous always have 2 10lb bottles or 2 15lb bottles. I think the nano will help, but mathmatically I think that 1 10lb bottle will run out of nitrous in a 1/4 mile pass. I sprayed a 250hp shot in the 1/8 mile from a 15lb bottle and would only get 4 to 5 passes before it lost too much pressure. I wouldnt risk running out of nitrous I would go with a 15lb or 2 10's. My 2 cents, Josh

No way your going to empty a 10 lb bottle on 1 pass. with the nano you'll be fine.

you should be fine, but I would buy 2-3 bottles as you will run out quickly, making track days a pita if you only have one bottle.

Sounds good, I will def be buying several bottles and likely an extra nano bottle as well. I will have a refill station on the trailer for both so that will help. Thanks for the help guys.

The average rule of thumb is 1 lb per every 10 seconds per hundred hp.

One 10lb bottle with the Nano should be good but I would probably do a 15lb bottle if you have the room.

you should be worried more about replacement pistons and gaskets at the track then how many bottles.

1x15lb NANO kit would get you three quarter mile runs depending on what the car runs and how much you purge. Contact Dave@Nitrous Outlet for more info or you can pm or call me.
