NX 2v Plate Kit
So I'm looking at getting an NX 2v Plate Kit and running a 75 shot until I get a tune, and I was wondering, is it worth spending about an extra $70-$80 to step up to a 15 lb bottle or just stick with the 10 lb bottle. Also, why is the 12 lb bottle like, $500-$600 more then the 10 lb bottle???
Here is link showing the average price of the setups with different size bottles: http://www.shopatron.com/index/300.0.9410.9738.0.0.0 |

i have yet to go through an entire bottle when running at the track with my 10lb bottle.
as for the 12lb bottle, it made of some kind of composite material thus costing more than the regular metal bottle |

the bottles aren't really that heavy man.
I would just get the regular one.

i would stick to the 10lb bottles be cause it get tought to get your pressure at half full, plus you will have to call to get the jetting for a 75 shot.

i think it depends on how much you plan on using it. if you're gonna be using it a lot you might want to go with a 15lb, and if theres not a filling station anywhere nearby i'd go with a 15

I am moving to Denver, CO in about 6 weeks, so in a city of nearly 3 million, there better be a filling station close by.

personal preference on bottles, i run a 15lb bottle in mine. if i were to run a 10 i would invest into a maximizer kit (2nd bottle). it helps reduce pressue drop off, and last loner between fills. i also use a lot of nitrous, and that is another reason i bought my own filling station. these cars can take 100 without a tune as long as you use 93+ octane. is is still a better idea to tune for it. the 12lb bottle is composite, the 10lb bottles are around 14lbs empty, 15 lb bottles are around 18.5 pounds empty.

Also, is pressure drop off dangerous, or does it just reduce the amount of power you will produce? |

racing at the track the pressure drop off isnt bad. it is the long hyway races is when drop off is an issue, it will cause a rich condition. i ran 100 untuned, i know people that run 100 untuned, i dont recommend doing it, but it is your car.

any time you tune for specfic needs for the car, it will always make it safer and get more power out of it.

ive found i get about 5 full passes and thats it on a 10lb bottle topped off on a 100 shot, anything after that, it just isnt there and breaks up badly. i wish i could find another bottle, or ould have gotten a bigger bottle. i am still trying to find a bottle so i can run dual bottles and get a lot more out of it
