Default Opinions needed.....one bottle or two?

I just completed my nitrous install and need some opinions on running one bottle or two for a two stage kit.

Both are nozzle setups and the first stage is 100 off the line with the second one(150hp) coming on .5-1 sec after launch(via microedge)...So should I run two seperate bottles per kit or use a y and run just one bottle for both stages?

Thanks!
-Travis

Whoops sorry..I had it in there and edited it out.

Second stage is 150..

Mike, I really like the microedge! I haven't had a chance to spray it yet but it seems like a great product!

I would Y the bottles together. You don't technically need it, but it will help keep your bottle pressure up and you will get a lot more runs before a change.

Great to hear, how was wiring and programming it?

Wiring of the microedge was a breeze...I just followed the supplied schematic. It didn't take long after toying around with it to get the programming down. With all the features I think its well worth the money.

Now back to my setup...I have both nitrous lines ran to the rear off the car so I was going to run one bottle per kit or one bottle y'd into the two main lines.

So are you saying to y the two bottles into one mainline and then y again at the noids?

The only reason I would consider not running them into a "Y", is if you do not intend on using but 1 stage most of the time....I'd say you would be better off keeping a reserve bottle of sorts, if the 2nd stage is going to be a rarity.

Just a thought
