temp drop through use? anybody ever actually measured the bottle temp difference before and after a run (1/4 mile)?
whats the normal pressure drop? i have always used a heater, but i have heard some excuses lately...
i know there is a loss in performance but wondering what exactly the variation is. thanks!

Never actually measured the difference. however, Have run a thermastically controled heater. It came set-up for heating to 85* which is 950psi. Normally after a run the heater would come back on, so this means it's below the delta to reactivate. I did end up modding this thermo transducer to have it heat to 95* which IIRC was about 1050psi. So with some simple math you can basically figured out the psi to temp curve. I ahve seen it posted before but forget where.

yeah i figured as much, just wondering what the guys without heaters loose after a good shot. plus im sure the drop is greater with bigger shots as well.
just thinking if you started with a 150, by the third run your probably around a 75-100!!! (on the street no cool down period). wonder if thats why it seems like my car gets faster and faster!!! hahaha!
