Need info on OLD 10,000 RPM nitrous system

I just bought an OLD "new" 10,000 RPM nitrous plate system from an X drag racer who said he won it and has had it stored since.
There is not alot of info on the box or inside. It is a square bore plate system and I guess from what I can see is NON-adjustable but I do not know the HP rating.
The only model # I found is # 1980 stage 3 and stage 5. It has a red "22" on one inlet and a blue "18" on the other inlet of the plate. The nitrous solenoid has 218 on it and the fuel solenoid has 110.
The bottle is also still full,for how many years I do not know. Does nitrous get old or lose its strength ?
Any information on this system would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply and I have called them,I asked to speak to someone in technical but the lady that answered the phone "tried" answering for me and was NO help what so ever ! She couldn tell me what any of the markings were or anything about the model #. When I said something about it not having any "pills" and being "non" adjustable she replied " Yes it's adjustable,all you have to do is adjust your fuel pressure to increase horsepower".
I have ran nitrous in the past and that answer didn seem correct to me.

So you talked to Becky probably.
Call & ask to talk to Ron(Father) or Rick(Son).
They are good people.
Leave a message, get their email or whatever you can do. They will get back to ya.
You gotta remember that is a MECHANICAL N20 system...nothing like what they have these days.
