Q: How long will the bottle last?
A: This largely depends on the type of nitrous kit and jetting used. For example, a 125 HP Power Shot kit with a standard 10 lb. capacity bottle will usually offer up to 7 to 10 full quarter-mile passes. For power levels of 250 HP, 3 to 5 full quarter-mile passes may be expected. If nitrous is only used in 2nd and 3rd gears, the number of runs will be more.


NOS bases that on their test example - a mid size car weighing in at 3,300 - 3,500 pounds with a ~350ci motor. If your car is heavier and the motor is bigger, the results may vary. I guess you can say, the results you see, speaks for itself.
