With 75hp jets in and bottle heater on (thereby assuming full pressure potential of the jets) I can get about 10 1/4 mile runs out of my 10lb bottle. If I remember correctly i got like 15 1/4 mile runs out of it with 55hp jets in.

i've gotten about 20 decent runs, but they were all street stuff that didn't last longer then maybe 1/4 mile on my 75 shot. about half of those runs i was done by the 1/8th mile because the other cars were way back there.

Time before last at the track I ran 3 runs on 50 shot wet and when I filled up the bottle it was just 3 pounds. A pound a run.

I've been weighing my bottles before and after a track session, and for my 50-shot-on-launch plus 75-shot-once-into-2nd-gear passes, I was using 1 1/2 lbs per run.

This is with the NX bottle heater and pressure switch operating. For some reason, I can only use a bottle until there is about 4 lbs remaining - then I get gas, not liquid, from the purge.. ??

I did like 4 runs and even let out of it some because the pressure was 1400psi. I still have plenty left. I doubt I'll finish the bottle this year. I took all the mods off because I had smog and didn't pass. It was a stupid problem but it got fixed.

I'm on my second bottle useing a 50 shot and with a bottle heater I'd say like 2 weeks of spraying everyday.
It's $40 for a 10lbs bottle for me.

2 dollars a pund where i get it from in miami, and my bottle tends to last me about 11-12 sprays through 1 or two gears on a 50 shot. BTW i spray no less than 3k rpm and let off at bout 6k.
