Default spraying on 6l80E

Is it possible to spray on 6l80E 100% stock
If yes should I spray over 3000 rpm ?
before the redline ?
and before the shift point (spraying through shifts)

thanks

A 6L80E could handle that no problem. I'd spray at 3K and keep spraying it until you are done running.

Although, now that I think about it, how much are you spraying?

A 6l80e is capable of handling 600wtq stock, this question was answered for you in a previous thread you started. please don't take offense, not trying to be rude but damn lol... You will be fine with a 150 on the stock setup, but I would start small, then work your way up... put a window switch on it, turn it on at 3000rpm, off at 200 rpm before limiter. don't forget colder plugs and to pull about 8 degrees of timing... NO TR6's lol!

No problem dude but you know I have 2009 G8GT and I dont wanna blow it
you mean by turning it off 200 before the rev limiter (redline) or my shifting points so I wouldn t spray through shifts or what ?

LOL why not TR6 I though they are good

Yes you want the spray to shut off 200rpm before the rev limiter... I said no TR6's assuming you were looking to spray 150+. See if you would of initially posted your intentions with the car, you would of got a better answer lol!
TR6's are "ok" for a 100 shot on a stock motor. I will be using these plugs aswell, but a bref6 would be better... The bref7 is the next step if you up the shot to a 150. A non projected tip plug is the "correct" plug for nitrous. Are you going with the HSW dry or wet plate setup?

nice, should run good! I went with the dry plate with interface, hoping to have it installed soon. I would recommend a nano setup also, but it's not a necessity.

I wouldn't have thought so but according to Sprayedenali the 6L80Es have problems shifting while being sprayed. I have yet to have a problem spraying thought the shifts on my 4L80E but, as we both know, they are different.

Its nitrogen assisted nitrous oxide(nano). Basically a push style system that forces compressed air into the nitrous bottle via the accessory port. This maintains constant bottle pressure at all times and eliminates the need for a bottle heater. This also allows you to run the nitrous bottle completely empty, so you get almost twice the runs compared to not having the nano. also it helps keep the tune spot on during the run because the bottle pressure won't drop, so its full horsepower the whole time while spraying.

From what I have been reading I would set the window switch to shut the nirtous off before shifts on the 6l80e. It seems a few are having trouble with it shifting on the spray... Im setting my car up to spray 2nd & 3rd for now... on your car you should be fine spraying 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Im no expert on by anymeans, but thats how I would start, keep doing research and go from there. gr8888.com is a pretty good g8 board, a few guys over there are running hsw kits on thier cars. maybe they can give you more info on the 6l80e. I know for a fact a guy on this board (orangechevyII) is spraying a 200 plate on his 2010 ss camaro. The car is cam/bolt on, stock everything else running 10.0's, but thats a m6...
