    Well what is the minimum temp that the bottle needs to be to work? would 900 work? also I dont have a bottle heater so would sticking the bottle in my passenger seat while waiting in line with the heater all the way up help or just waste my gas sitting in line?

    seat wont heat it up enough at all, nor will the heater...some people will set the bottle in the engine bay or get a portable torch and heat it that way....i would run it between 900-950 and pill it to get the AFR right with that psi....thats the psi all kits are designed to work at

    i never have a problem...running 7.50 index i can hit around 7.50 to 7.55 every pass on a fresh bottle to an empty bottle. maybe the pressure drop would be more noticeable on the full 1/4.

    i also never see 1200 PSI when the bottle is cool. usually sits right around 900ish without ever touching it with heat. it will get to 1,200 when pumping in the nitrous though.

    hit the bottle with a torch if you dont want to buy a heater. i keep my pressure sensor set between 950 and 1050.

    I've squeezed 13lbs in my 10lb bottle. I was pretty scared, but the guy charged me 40 bucks for a 13lbs. Greg made the mistake of heating his bottle that night and blew a burst disk. Mine was resting at 1150 PSI when I sprayed the first shot... After that 1/4mile shot though, it was all the way down to 800 PSI.

    I did have a bottle heater drain my battery dead one night. It kept trying to heat a empty bottle. LOL Buy a bottle heater.

    There really isnt one, the psi is gonna make the difference on the "hit" hell ive sprayed at 700psi...= suck hit, but it worked. i usually try to run it at 900-1100 usually end up at 900 cus i get impatient, 1200 psi blows the tires off. Some bottles actually have the wieghts on the side like it says bottle empty = this much, bottle full = this much. Ive wrapped mine in a jacket and put the floor heater on sweated my ass off for no gain in psi, get yourself some heaters and get a good "hit"

    Thanx guys I appreciate it all the advice!

    Well I ran a 13.9 at 100 sprayin half way through 1st then 2nd and 3rd. and this was with a rich 90 shot after I calculated the jet sizes I used.. Im thinking im gonna need bigger tires now though. I have 26/10.5 et street and everytime I hit the switch I could feel the tires break loose.

    tire size shouldnt matter for traction in your case. you need to address your suspension

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    Never use a torch to heat a bottle. Never buy a bottle that had a torch on. It's extremely
    dangerous and just stupid.

    Over filling the bottles is a bad idea. Bottles are designed to have an expansion area in them. Overfilling the bottle lessens this area and since liquid does not expand you run the risk of blowing you burst disc out.

    Run the psi your mfg. Recommends and their jetting tell you get you system figured out.

    Bottles weight can very from one mfg. to another. There should be a sticker on the side of the bottle.
