It all depends on what shot are you running, how often you spray, how much you purge, and how often you take the bottle out of the car..

I started out with a 50 shot and I would get alot of sprays out of it.. If I spray say 3 times a night through 2nd-4th gear with out purging The bottle would last 1 week maybe.. Now that is spraying at 3200 rpms in 2nd gear all the way to right before the speed limiter in 4th.. 20 times sprayin through 3 gears.. Now with the 75 shot its around 15-16 times.. Remember this is without purging.. I sprayed it alot the 1st month or so.. lets just say 3 bottles in the 1st month.. now with the 75 shot I dont really spray it alot.. I purge at the person if its someone that wants to run but I dont feel like it or I dont want to waste all the N20 so I purge and they back off because of the way my car sounds they think its a LS1 with N20.. Now if you are one of those people that take the bottle out of the car every night then when you close the bottle valve whatever N20 is in the line it will leak out when you unbolt the line from the bottle.. I hardly take my bottle out of the car unless it is really hot or sunny out.. Another thing is you can have the bottle in the car with you for2 weeks straight and you might have 2-3 good races but the minuet you take the bottle out of the car or run out of N20 that C5 Vette on the highway wants to run you or that WS6 T/A revs up at you at the light and you just say $hit.. I wish I had the bottle in the car.. Thats Why I have 2 bottles now so when one is getting filled I have another in the car..

When I was 120 dry shot I would spray ALL the damn time and could go through 3 full 10 pound bottles in a week.

Now I run awet kit and converter.
1 bottle at a time is no longer cutting it.

I have recently added a dual 10 pound bottle set up to maintain PSI

It all depends on how much I'm racing

How much does a bottle of N20 cost?

Depends what size bottle. Most use 10 lbs bottles. Some places charge about $3 per lbs, so about $30 per 10lbs bottle refill.

I went through about a bottle a month, then I spun a rod bearing.

$35 for a refill here.

F*** THAT!! 20 bones per week for gas plus another 30 for nitrous= 50 bones a week= 2600 per year plus possible engine damage= :eek: I'm savin up for a turbo kit. (better bang for the buck in the long run, will have the power all the time)

The sad thing is, I fill up my entire tank of gas atleast TWICE a week..(usually)..and $20 for gas! who are you kidding,,I pay close to $30 for a fill up. I would rather choose not to think of how much money I actually waste on gas..and then the cost of nitrous. Anything adds up to high numbers when you think about it in the long run [img]smile.gif[/img]

You take the chance of blowing your motor with a turbo kit also. ;)

Turbo = slower car
Nitrous = faster car :D

$3-$5.25 per pound from what I have seen
