Default 10lb bottle or 15?

I am getting a NX MAF kit and need to decide on bottle size. This is on a stock 02 Z28 with LT headers. What are the pros and cons of each. ie: How much longer does it take to heat a 15 vs.10? How much longer can I go with a 15? Can a 15 fit in the spare tire well with the NX remote opener?

A 15lb'er is nice if you can fit it. The bottle presure will stay more consistant during a run.

Yep, I vote for the 15lbs bottle too. Nitrous goes pretty quick so the more you can carry with you the better. They generally come up to pressure pretty quick. But when you only have a pound or two left in it, it's almost impossible to get up the pressure up above 800-850psi.

I'd say 2/3.

One thing about the 10lb bottle is that it fits PERFECTLY in the spare tire area and allows for a battery to be located under it if wanted.

You can also put the 15 in the spare tire as well. I can mail you some picks if you like. If you remove your grill you can access the valve or you can use a remote opener. just pm me.
