nitrous bottle heater pressure How long should it take for my bottle heater to heat my bottle on a 50 degree night? It does not seem to get over around 700-750psi with a full bottle. I have a nitrous express wet kit (150hp)shot, and the heater element is getting hot.

I have bought a mechanical pressure gauge to hook to the bottle because now I am thinking maybe my Autometer electric gauge is off or something.... hopefully will check tomorrow ... if it is the NX pressure transducer again this is bull$hit!!!!

General rule-of-thumb is 100psi gain every 10 minutes.

80-90 degrees outside, bottle in spare tire area, hatch open, with the plastic covering removed takes about 30 minutes for me to go from 750-800 to 1050 psi with a dynotune heater.
dynotune's sensor screw goes clockwise to up the psi.

Also, when adjusting my pressure transducer to a shut off pressure of 1050psi (NX system), do I trust the mechanical NX or electric Autometer gauge to be accurate to dial in pressure transducer???
