A lot is going to depend on how fast your car is normally and if it is 1/8 or 1/4 mile. I know of a car that run 47's in a fogger on a single 15lb bottle but since it runs high 6's it works fine. Personally I think in most cars anything over about 250hp in a 1/4 mile can see a benefit going from a 10lb bottle to a larger bottle or 2 10lb bottles. A single 15 should do good to about 400hp or so, again the faster the car the higher the HP you can go on a given bottle size. 1/8 mile is very forgiving so you can get away with a lot more before pressure drop becomes an issue but if you are going to be going over 300hp a 15lb bottle would be a good investment. You do want to be careful trying to do large amounts of nitrous on undersized (for the application) bottles because it has been known to cause engine damage from causing things to run too rich in the last few hundred feet of the track. This isn't really a concern though for most mild engines and only becomes a real concern as the horse power and the compression of the engine start to climb.
