Maybe, but it depends on the system and safety additions.

I'm seriously considering lowering my activation from 2800 to 2000, My converter is just to tight and not hitting the tires hard enough.

question should be how many have done it etc. I already stated I spray my car at 2200-6000. I have a 3k converter and its to tight its the only way I can get it to hit right away. Car isnt going to Bogg either if i had a stick car yea i wouldnt run that low but

Picking up a dry 100 shot would I be safe without a window switch? I have a 3500 stall but it is very tight, would it zing right up to 3500 if I hit it off the line with a wot switch?

i would always still use a window switch, just keep turning it down till you are happy. spraying at 2000rpm is one thing but wacking the throttle off idle and spraying at 900rpm is bad. that kind of thing can happen without a window switch.

I'm betting that if you're activating significantly lower than 3000, your converter is flashing pretty close to it almost instantly, so it wouldn't make a difference what you set your rpm to.

I have a 2800 stall, set my activation at 2700 and have 239,000 mi. on the ticker. Ran 3 passes with so far and am planning on stroking the motor this winter so no idea how long it would hold this but I would be willing to bet forever.

Just to make it clear I spray off the line.

I was spraying about 1800 rpm, due to a tight converter and couldn't build any boost at the line so my 60's were like 2.2 or worse. I was also progressive and a baby 50 shot. Not sure how low Id start with a large shot though.

Do you guys think that I should lower my window based on this video of my launch?

I know this thread is old but I have a good question. What if you spray at a lower rpm and you have a direct port system on an m6. Would it be any safer since you practically eliminate the fuel puddling issue? I'm talking around 200 shot slipping the clutch off of the line as well
