I do not believe in this at all, but there are alot of guys I know that do it. Even after they purge it across the windshield, before they stage, they rev it up in neutral and activate the system. I'm just looking for some more opinions on this. Thanks

Personally I think that any way you purge a system will work fine. I think alot of people do it with a silonoid for consistantcy on the times. Keeping the pressure at the same temp is crucial and too much pressure is never good. Personal pref I believe......Oh and purge flying up over the hood looks Bitch.......

Seems like the concept would be the same as dry shooting a pellet gun or something though.. The resistance or opposing force that is normaly there isnt and then it is alot harsher, more impact/damaging. This isn't the case?

You will never get a answer on this questions, you will always get mixed replies and people that swear by purging into the motor and people that don't. I have purged through the motor on many cars and never hurt anything. I have been told by several big engine builders that its hard on the rings purging through the motor but seen some of the same engine builders do it on there own car.
