Not really, I have seen several dynos of various NOS(the brand name) systems in Hotrod and (i think) Import tuner Magazine that netted more HP than the advertised shot(usually by about 5-8 hp) Also with the topic at hand injecting N2O into charged (read: hot) air the coolong effect alone will net you several more HP than just what the shot itself advertises.
the reduced air temps are just a side effect... 50shot = ~50hp. and that ~ refers to "about or close to" so 50hp +/- 10hp would be a nice range, depending on your application and bottle pressure and temp...
and the point from which a small shot of n2o reduces your air temps to the point where it adds stress and heat to the engine is a small line... a 100shot is going to do alot more heating then cooling...
