Default Nitrous runs out too fast

I just got in my nitrous kit to discover my secondary bottle is on backorder so ill only be running one bottle with a 150 shot.... how many runs will i even get with one 10 lb bottle. I am thinking of buying some more bottles on ebay real quick so i dont get screwed over when i race at competitions.

150 shot on a 350Z?! What kind of #'s are you getting?
I'm running a 75 shot, it's hard to put a actual number but if I had to guess, I probably can get about 15 or so 1/4 mile passes before I need a refill.

389 quoted whp and 401 wtq. so if you get 15 runs out of your 75 i should get say 7? In two weeks ill post an update on what i run at the track with this sick setup. also question, what happens when you do run out of nitrous, does just the fuel jet still work or what, i dont get what happens, does your engine run really rich once u run out?

What setup are you running? I'm thinking about putting my car on the bottle but not sure what system and what accessories are needed!

Also remember to watch your pressure. If you have a bottle mounted in an ideal location (facing forward at the correct angle), you still shouldn't let it get less than 20% full. You chances of getting a full shot at a high enough pressure is diminished. Using 150 shot (assuming full shot and not progressive) and a 10lb bottle, I'd say 5-6 passes if you are spraying off the line or nearly off the line.

from the NX site, that should help you calculate how long the bottle will last:

Q. How long will a bottle of nitrous last?
A. That depends on the level of power being produced. The formula for calculating your nitrous usage is: 0.8 lbs N2O X 10 seconds = 100 horsepower. I.E. If your system is jetted for 100 horsepower it will use 0.8 lbs of nitrous for every 10 seconds of usage.
