Default 10lb bottle with 125 shot

How many 1/4 mile runs can expect to get out of this?
Thanks

I have heard 4-6 good runs. Then it really starts to fall off.

I think you should get five or six, depending on how much you purge. My nitrous consumption is approximately 1.25 pounds per 125-shot run. My bottle is effectively empty with 2.5 pounds of nitrous remaining. Therefore, my 10 lb bottle has 7.5 useful pounds. 7.5/1.25 = 6

Kinda funny i was gonna ask the same question today after looking at my bottle last night an seeing that it was empty already. I thought i had a leak being i figured i'd get more then 4-5 runs out it. So like everyone else said I'm gonna have to agree 4-6 runs depending on how much you purge.

Im gonna say starting with a full bottle, you should see 5 solid passes. I run a 150 in mine and I get four full passes, with normal 2-3 second purge before each run. On the fifth pass, it still hits hard in first, but i see about a 4-5mph drop in trap speed.

I forgot to check this thread before going to the track today so I only made 3 runs on the bottle.

I weighed it once I got home. Bottle weighed 21.5 after 3 runs and a little purge. Definatly had a solid 4th pass left in it.

It really depends on how fast the car makes it down the track. You will burn .8lbs per every 10 seconds per every 100 hp..

If you have a Nano you sill get more passes out of the bottle.
