Default Newb question. Jet sizing?

Alright guys. Well I finally got my system all set up and sprayed it finally.
The day before I dyno'd I had the bottle topped off, but I forgot to pull the bottle out of the car that morning and it was sitting around 1000psi when I got it filled. The shop who filled it for me warned me that it probably wasn't going to be a good fill for the bottle being as hot as it was.

First question is how much would that really effect the numbers and or how hard it hits? I ask about how hard it hits b/c I have hit it twice now(psi over 1k both times), once from a 45 roll and once from a 60. The 60 punch felt strong even spinning the tires for a a second, where as the 45 pulled hard, but it didn't snap my head back like I was expecting.

I have a Nitrous Outlet brand X kit and am also using a HSW 78mm plate. Bottle psi was around 1,000. Numbers were through a 4k stall, stock 10 bolt with 3.73's. On motor with the converter unlocked it was 379. With the 150 pills (n20 outlet recommended) it put down 483 again unlocked.

Help me out guys. Should I just use up this bottle or empty it and go get it refilled and see what it puts down then?

Make sure you have a good fill first and then go from there. Just because it says 1k psi doesn't mean its a full bottle. You need to weight it to verify. What jets are you running and what's your a/f?
