Default TC and nitrous

What will happen if i spray a 100 or 150 shot of nitrous at 3000rpms when I have a 3500 stall converter?

If I spray at 3500 won't my converter act like a 3800 stall?

The RPMs will quickly come up to your stall speed. Yes, your stall speed will be higher on the bottle than when running NA. A 150 shot may stretch you stall speed out about 400-500 RPM.

Is there any advantages or disadvantages for spraying it at 3000 instead of 3500? Is it harder on my tranny one way or another? Will spraying at 3000 be faster?

The sooner you start spraying, the more potential for acceleration you have. HOWEVER, the lower RPM you spray, the harder it is on your engine. The cylinder pressure gets higher the lower RPM you go.

3000 is the absolute lowest that I would spray a 150 shot on a stock bottom end.
