Default 20lbs bottle instead off 2X 10lbs ???

Hi i´m thinking if i use one 20lbs bottle whith the 200 shot instead of 2X 10lbs

benefits i see i can go 7 runs instead on the 20lbs, but only 6 full on 2X10lbs

are there any negatvies using 20lbs other then weight diffrence

is there more pressure drop in the 20lbs then 10lbs or just hen same

thanks

I still use a single 10 lb bottle. Lol. I get about 2-3 good runs on 250. I need to upgrade. I'm interested in this also.

I would think that the pressure would be more stable in the 20lb bottle, just bc it seems you could get more variation from having to rely on 2 bottles? With the amount of air and nitrous it is pushing, and different bottle temps and pressures. Less variables

Being a convertible you have a trunk lid like my zo6. I have a 15lb bottle and its kind of tight to get in and out. I bet you would have alot of trouble getting a 20lb bottle in. A coupe with the hatch glass has more room and probably fit a 20lb bottle easier.

If you're looking for bottles lasting longer (ie: more passes), have you looked into a NANO system ?
Everything I read on them looked good.

All the serious nitrous setups i've seen have used multiple 10lb bottles, and from asking some of the hardcore racers, they say they do have problems getting the last couple pounds out of the larger bottles, so they just use multiple 10lb'ers. No personal experience with anything other than the 10's myself though.
