Default how many runs/ bottle mounting.

Well iam just curius how many runs people are getting out of there setups.
i run a hsw 10 lb bottle with 125 jets, i spray from 3200 to 6200, and car runs 11.1. Last thurs i only got 3 runs out of it.

is this normal?

Also would relocating my bottle help get more passes out of the bottle.

right now i have it mounted in the spare tire well at about a 80 degree incline.

I hear that the 10lb bottle is around three to five runs, with arming, purging, cleaning the line before connecting and then the run. It also depends on what gear you are sparying from. I would say that is about right.

last year i didnt have a purge, and ran a stock 4l60 with stock tc so i never sprayed before 3k and never to 6k so i got 4-5 runs

Iam not going to spend nymore cash on nitrous parts, this winter iam going boosted. i just wondered if i mounted it t a different angle would it help.

on my last 10# fill, I got 1, 4th gear dyno pull, and 4, 1/4 mile passes on the 150 jets. I lost 4mph on the last 1/4 pass letting me know it was time for a refill.
