I was, but I went from a 4500 carb to a 4150. and changed to a nx gemni twin plate. it's capable of 500. Well I put the bottle in at 1200 and after a pass its 850/900. the last weekend I took the car. I used 7lbs and 5 gallons of c12. And I fill the bottle every weekend. So im going to try 2 and see if it helps with the volume.
