500=5lbs in 10 seconds

so if you go 15 seconds just multiply 1.5 times your lb useage! A 200 shot would be 3lbs in 15 seconds useage....

So a 35 shot for 15 seconds would be
.3 5X 1.5 = .525
So 1/2 pound per run meaning I should get 15 solid hits out of a 10lb bottle? Plus 1 or 2 not so hard hits. Hows my math?

At least, actually 100 shot for 10 sec. = .8lbs usage.

You, minds well through a 50 on there..Cory (Hummer guy) has had no problem now with some more runs and plenty of street use. The timing will not need to be reduced, we logged several runs and found no extra timing retard. You will want to watch that tranny though. When we upped the boost from 6.5-7 up to 8-8.5 the 4L65 tranny started to shift way to long into second. Luckily we have one of the best tranny builders in the US here and on our race team.

Oh and your math is close enough....
