Have my window switch on at 2500 rpm for a Vig converter that flashes to 3200. I've done it for years without a problem.

I was at 3000-8000 for years on my small tire car.
Never had an issue.

3000 is fine... Its not going to really matter because when you go WOT its just going to flash the converter past the activation point anyway.

Just spray it out of the hole

I've sprayed 150 off the line dozens of times, no issues.

You don't. As long as your window switch is below where the converter flashes or, even better, your brake stall speed if you're footbrakeing it's going to go to the bottle as soon as the car is floored.

Set it at 2800-3000. I have a 2800 stall and set mine to 2500. It comes on at 2500 and with the nitrous my stall speed goes to 3100 or so.

Point being just like others have said set it at 3000 and you will be good.
