on my dry zex kit i lasted for about 6 passes but after 4 the bottle gets too low to really work good unless you have the heater and everything.

on my nos wet kit ive done 3 passes and dropped from 1200 psi to 850...so based on that its about the same.

i dont know about direct port tho. dont have that yet.

it costs me around 40 bux to fill a 10lb bottle.

It really depends on your shot size......a 50 shot will get more runs than a 100 shot of course, but Id say you should get 8 -10 runs out of a bottle or better running a 50 shot.....it probably depends on how ling your runs are also i suppose....

.8 pounds of nitrous produces 100 crank hp for 10 seconds.

you can do the math from there.

and then on top of that you are going to lose some nitrous in the lines and the last pound or two of nitrous isn't as strong as a full bottle.

for me its generally about 6 full passes and maybe [with the heater] a couple extra little short street races.

was paying 2.50/lb but most places sold it for 3.00/lb
