To drain 4 batteries in 15 seconds do you have any idea how many amps it would have to be pulling. You would need wiring the size of garden hose.
The 15 seconds must be to keep the motors cool, not for the battery life.

It would have to suck some monster current to drain 4 batteries in 15 seconds...

I think it would work if you constructed the system better rather then put 3 large motors on it to do the job....

Still, the fact that it only works for 15 second bursts and the initial cost of purchasing and installing the unit... Nitrous still remains the best bang for the buck. For only a couple of grand more a full fledged turbo system or supercharger can be had, would be more reliable and would give you upgrade potential via boost increases.
I'll stick with my actual turbo and superchargers.
