Default New to N2O - how many 1/4 mi. runs can you get on a #10 bottle?

I'm looking at a Compucar "Nitrous in a Bag" kit and was just wondering how many 1/4 mile runs I can expect to get on a full #10 bottle.

Thanks,

if you're using the 100 hp jet with a bottle heater, somewhere around 7-8 good 1/4 mile passes.

I was going to use the 100 hp jet. 7 - 8 runs is better than I thought, I'm going to do this for sure now....

Thanks for all the info.

I thought the "rule of thumb" was 1 # for every nitrous run. So, a 10 # should last 10 runs at a 100 hp setting.

0.8 pounds of nitrous for every 10 seconds of a 100 shot.

I get about 8 from a 15# bottle and a 150hp shot, the numbers seem to be scalable.
