I run a 15lb bottle, and with a 150shot I only get about 7-8 1/4 mile passes.

The answer depends on many variables. I'll list a some.

Size of shot.

Brand...some rate jets sizes differently.

Amount of time spent sqeezing during quarter mile run.

Bottle warmer?

Do you overfill your 10 pound bottle which a lot of people do? I put 11 pounds or more in mine.

Answering the above questions would yield more accurate answers.

As stated the brand will play a part in this as well. Some brands are jetted in such a manner that 150-hp jets are RWHP gains while others are read at the flywheel. This will play a part in how long the bottle will last as one that is jetted for RWHP gains will use more N2O than one that is jetted for HP gains measured at the crank. I realize this may be confusing so what I would reccomend is to call the vendor that you bought the kit from and ask them what they typically see. Hope this helps.
