Default How many runs off a bottle?

Using a 10lbs bottle and spraying a 150 shot, how many runs would I get before having to swap out for another bottle. I like the price tag that goes along with N2O, but I don't like the idea of running out when I need it most, lol.

Bottle heater....about 6 quarter mile runs.

No Heater....about 4.

Of course, this depends on time, etc..

Or just get a 15lb bottle and run a lot longer

But the amount you get out of your bottle will depend on when you hit the juice and if you spray through the shifts and your bottle pressure.

alot of it will depend on the total amount sprayed.. with what you want to spray it with I'd suspect 4 to 5 good runs, as long as you keep the pressure up.


Ron you'd definately be better off with a 15 lb'er for your purposes... mount it between the rear seats and it eliminates the need for a bottle opener too, and you can just put one guage on the bottle and you will be able to see it in the car no problem... probably make the install, as well as the cost much more attractive.

4-5 solid runs and sometimes 6 if they really give me the full 10lbs. most of the time i can get away with less(100shot) so thats what i bang it with.

On my old TNT wet, I would get 4 good runs on 11-12lbs in a 10lb bottle with heater.

I'd say about 5 runs because i had a 75 shot before and thats how many i got. But why would you get another bottle? or do you mean refill?


btw..changing the spark plugs is a good idea if you havent already done so. If the head melts.. then you will lose power to a cylinder and that blows.
