Let's say you could get to 160 without nitrous.
How big of a bottle do you have? How quick does the pressure drop when you goose it?
If you get 15 seconds of juice out of it, then you'd probably jump up to near 175 or so with a 100 shot... Just a guess though...

I've never used N2O, but the guys at the track that do, get a whole night or more from a bottle. I would think you'd get a minute, maybe two from a fresh bottle. I want to see THIS. Let me know where and when. We have some salt flats out here that make an ideal location, for such a run. Let me know when, I'll bring the broom and dust pan, you bring the kitty litter.

I don't know what kind of pressure drop one would experience with 15+ secs on the juice. I noticed mine dropped to below 900psi after a couple of bursts. Boyle's law strikes again...
Of course, a 10 lb bottle can give you between 5-10 full 1/4 miles runs (depending on the HP shot level), but I've never been able to keep the pressure on mine acceptable without taking a break and letting it warm back up...
