Default Line size for shot amounts.

Is there a chart anywhere on min line size, in -an for example, on how much of a shot it can support.

I have a kit in my basement that was for a 150 shot, but im looking to go with 200 or more and want to know if my lines will suffice or if i need to buy new ones.

As far as a main feel line you will need a 4an for that power level.

You can safely spray 250hp on a 4an. But at that power level you will see increased flow from a 6an line.

My personal preference would be to go with a 6an line for anything over 225hp but you can get away with it a 250hp.

Do you refill the bottle after every run????

Depending on the line i already, which i hope is -4an, i'll run a 125-150 first stage followed by 100.

Otherwise i'll order some -6an and run dual 150's

500hp is probably around 3.1-3.3 lbs of nitrous for ATV's car in the 1/4.

No, but I do change it after every run if we are 1/4 mile racing.

15lb bottle also.

yes but its only 3 lbs or so used . but for consistancy and in our very competative class we don't like to make to many double hits on 1 bottle and never in elims. why risk the .05 or so and lose? we keep enough bottles and will sometimes double hit in qual if were already in the show. and if its more than a quick 8 we will take the fill setup and top the qual bottles off in case we go to the finals.

3lbs on the run but prolly 5lbs or more total for a run once you open the line, purge it and close the line.
