I'd like to try Nitrous on something.
Yes, the shot/horsepower are synonymous.

Usage (quoted from the NX website for 100 shot, so just interpolate): The formula for calculating your nitrous usage is .8 lbs N2O X 10 seconds = 100 horsepower. I.E. If your system is jetted for 100 horsepower it will use .8 lbs of nitrous for every 10 seconds of usage.
