how much does bottle pressure effect hp? I am just wondering because I need to know what adequate pressure I need.
I ran a 13.53 with about 850 psi in the bottle.
With about 1000 psi how much hp would I get it?
Thanks for any help.

I've noticed that bottle pressure seems to affect MPH more than ET. For example the other day I started out at 1,100psi and by my 6th pass I was down to about 900psi or so. The car ran between 11.15 & 11.22 all day but my MPH went from 126-127 to 121-122. I imagine you could drop almost .2 off your time but you should see a real nice MPH gain.

Its hard to say exactly what you will gain with higher bottle pressure. The nitrous "hits" harder when you have a higher bottle pressure. If it is starting to get cooler in your area, you might want to use a bottle warmer, like the NX automatic warmer. Pressure activated, it always maintains the right bottle pressure, via tempature. They cost about $229, plus shipping. Give me a call, 281-870-8787 or you can email me directly at ChrisS@motorsporttech.com
