the more you use it, the faster it runs out

and price to refill bottles varies, i hurd you can get filled for 7ish a lb at once place, and then 4ish a lb at another, it all depends on where you buy it

if you live near drag strip, i bet you could call them and they could give you a price, or they could give you a # to call where you could find out yourself

That'd be me. I pay around $8 canadian per lb of nitrous.

The usage depends on horsepower levels
At 50 hp jetting, a 10 lb bottle will supply 5.2 minutes of injection (Not recommended for longer bursts than 15 seconds at a time). At 100 hp jetting, the same 10 lb bottle would supply 2.6 minutes of injection.

The hp/use ratio is linear(almost).

I think holley's wet nitrous (NOS) should give you about 8-10 1/4 mile shots out of a 10lb bottle.. It also depends what hp shot ,jet size, wet or dry your running.

Yes. You can also use bigger bottles, or plumb bottles together to have them last even longer.

IE: I run a 15 lb bottle, and am about to run a pair of 15's.
