Re: does it realy matter if you heat your bottle

Heck yeah it does. Heat has a near linear relationship with pressure. IOW, if your bottle is too cold, your pressure is too low. Why is this bad? Not enough pressure will not create the proper mix of nitrous/fuel 9read: more fuel).

A heater should come standard in kits. It is as mandatory as having a window switch, IMO.

heat is very very important! you want to keep your bottle pressure right around 900-1100, if you dont have a pressure guage get one!!

your bottle pressure should be between 900-1050. after 1050 it hits the critical point of nitous which if your running the track you will hate anything higher then 1050.

If you want to maintain consistency with your bottle runs, then a bottle heater is the way to go.
