really basic math?

a 10 pound bottle is good for about 2000 hp/sec of spray. so, if it were a 2000 shot, it would be good for 1 second, or if it were a 1hp gain, 2000 seconds.

so, 50hp should last about 40 seconds before you drop the pressure to the point where it starts to lose flow.

again, this is VERY "seat of the pants) math

well, sure, but assuming that his system works well, he shouldn't have to except when he has air in the line.

i'm assuming you're street racing if you're referring to multiple nights per week

in that case...1 day

thats how long it lasts me when I spray...

Easy way to judge...weigh the bottle empty, then weigh it full. After a couple times use, weigh the bottle again and you should be able to find out. Don't get it too low otherwise all you'll be doing is injecting fuel into your intake .

i do not have a bottle warmer or pressure gauge so i am not sure what bottle pressure i am at.

i fill my 10lb bottle.

i can use it for 20 + runs from 40-130. after i am done i usually shut the bottle off and then i do not have purge since i do not have that. i just click the button and spray the remaining of what is in the line till i don't feel the kick then i let off and disconnect the bottle
