Default Nx Psi.?

Hi All. I'm finally getting a bottle heater this week. I've been running a 150 shot between 850 to 875 lbs pressure in the bottle. How much more power could I expect by just putting the pressure up to 1050? Thanks for any input.Capt1Mike

If you like it now, get the pressure up to 1050-1100 and you'll stain your pants. I't a world of difference! Tons! :U 850

Wish I could tell you. I've never dynoed mine or run it at the track with only 850. I have done both on the street though and it makes a big difference.

What you are doing when you up the nitrous pressure is essentially leaning out the air/fuel mixture. That is unless you run a larger fuel pill. It is also hard on the nitrous solenoid. It is not recommemded to exceed 1000psi.
