Default How far do you roll out before you spray?

For the people who roll out a bit then spray, when do you hit it?

I think a lot of these guys are hitting it right off the break.

As soon as the brake is released, the solenoids start flowing.
Is there a reason you would want to do it another way?

Ive always just used a controller, and set the delay up accordingly to how the track was working for me.

I hear ya on that, only problem is if you get that tank rolling and then try and spray it more chaos might ensue.. I know it's not always the easiest or cheapest, but I would get some axles and C-clip elims in there.. My preference is replacing the housing ends with a bolt in housing end and a bolt in axle..

I just did this for a customer with a 78 Camaro 3500#'s BBC on spray.. He was tired of killing C-Clip elim kits...

I have a 71 Buick Skylark rear in the car. They already are bolt in axles. But, I would have to buy a new posi cuz mine is 28 spline and if I buy axles, might as well go 30 spline.

I normally spray right off the brake, but if the track prep isn't any good then I spray at the tree.....

Ahh ok, at that point just go 33... they are all the same cost.

Adjustable shocks and proper rear end geometry.

Both.

I can get you set-up with front and rear QA1's for $1009.99. These are coil-overs with springs for that price.

Speedtigger- I would hit it right out of the hole. I think you will make more problems for yourself trying to hit it after the car is rolling. I think you will unsettle the suspension or end up with wheel hop.

Try to hit it out of the gate if you can at all possible.
