Bottle PSI / Performance

Does the Bottle PSI have that much of an effect on the performance of my N20 kit? I mean, is a bottle warmer really worth the money, or is it all just hype? I debating weather or not to get a purge (mainly for looks and show) or a bottle warmer to keep my PSI around 900 or so...Anyone have an experience with and without bottle warmer, or track times with and without? Lemme know what's up guys....

anything less than 900 to 1000 psi you are not getting full potential of nitrous oxide.yes a bottle heater is needed becuase on a colder nite very hard to get the bottle hot enuff to get bottle pressure to 950. anything less than 900 you are wasting nitrous/fuel and loading your engine up with extra un needed fuel and makin your motor run worse.
most kits are designed to run 1000 psi without leaning out. so as long as you stay between 900-1000 psi you get max performance.
