Your bottle pressure will not be high enough for it to do anything. If you are thinking about running a 1.4lb bottle.The pressure may be alright but it will not even get you a 1/4 mile pass.

I doubt you would get through the 1/8 before pressure dropped so low in the bottle it would be useless. Dont forget the smaller the bottle the greater the pressure drop with equal size shot.

The small bottles are for motorcycles and stuff. When your only spraying 10-15hp a 1lb bottle will last a little while. The general rule is you will use 1lb of nitrous every 10 seconds for every 100hp.

I think THINK he is asking basically how many 150 shots will he get out of say a 10lb bottle. Looking for the rate per lbs. Like at 100shot you would use X lbs per second or something like that. I'd like to know the same. Basically a 100wet TNT shot at 1000 psi doing 11.5 second runs. How long is my 10lbs bottle gonna last?
