Default How much nitrous am i using?

So i have no idea how to estimate nitrous usage. So lets say 950 psi consistent. How much nitrous does like a quarter mile take on say a 100 shot. Do purges waste a lot or a little?
What about random street usage, hittin it here and there, what will that lend me use wise?

Just trying to figure out how much use i am getting out of a bottle.

# of runs depends on how many times you purge, as well as how long you purge as well. A quick purge is all that is needed to get the nitrous to the noid. You don't have to hold it for that long.

One bottle should last you 5-7 runs with a 100 shot though at that pressure

This is my first bottle so im still foolin around with it and tuning, etc.

Does it waste a lot to crack the bottle and then close the line?

The general rule is that if you are jetted for 100 than you use 1 lb in 10 seconds.

My tuner did some test with his purge, and I want to say that he found for every five seconds (might have been three it's been awhile and I can't quite remember) you purge you loose 1 lb.

Do the like the pro's do, weigh the bottle before 1/4 mile run
then weigh it after

My buddie's race car would go through almost 5lbs a pass
