Lower pressure = how much hp loss?

I finally got the time to install my nitrous pressure gauge and my bottle pressure is 650 PSI (full bottle) So if the optimum pressure is 900 - 950 can anyone estimate how much hp I am losing because of the lower pressure? I am running a rich 75 shot. (fuel jet 24)

I think you may want to have your bottle checked and refilled because that seems way low to me.

You losing even more than you think because not only aren't you getting all the nitrous you need, but your also running over rich so you are getting even less power.

a 0.024 fuel jet is mighty big for a 50 shot

Could you clarify the exact jet sizes you are using?

50 shot?? I am running a 75 shot like stated in my post. The jetting is 41 - 22 for the 2.2 but I don't have a 22 jet so I popped in the 24. I know I am losing power due to the jetting also but I was wondering how much I was losing from the lower pressure.
