Interesting Idea..Yes..No? OK has anybody done this? (it goes with out saying use all the safety features)
two stage setup..
One system activated by a WOT switch & RPM switch. The RPM switch using pill 3300 on and 6300 off with a 75 to 100 wet shot.
Second system activated by the same WOT switch , but using a second RPM switch with pill 4300 on and 6300 off 50 to 75 wet shot.
You would need two systems and nozzels.
Would this not be a two stage system that would be a little nicer to the internal parts? Less shock? Anyone running a system like this?

Re: Interesting Idea..Yes..No? sounds good to me i guess. i wouldnt want to drop below the bottom window of the second window switch though...seems like undue stress. people have been known to add a microswitch inside thier shifter to activate as they shifted into 2nd.
most of the fast 2-stage guys spray out of the hole with the smaller shot and the second before or at the 60' line with a larger shot.

Re: Interesting Idea..Yes..No? When I get my Torque arm back in I'll be shooting 150 out of the hole but I will be taking off at 5500 RPM's. My thought is that this would be a little softer on the internal parts and a little more consistent.

Re: Interesting Idea..Yes..No? what would you launch at? its still a soft hit when you hit the switch since the motor is already at high rpm. plus, if you did a dry first stage you could pull 4 degrees of timing that way...then spray the wet 2nd stage whenever you wanted to or not at all.

Re: Interesting Idea..Yes..No? I'm still trying to find out what RPM's allow me to leave with-out spinning. At this time I'm leaving at 5000 to 5500 but with tire spin. (on slicks) I have to see how the car runs with a torque arm that is not bent.

Re: Interesting Idea..Yes..No? well...the point of the 2 stage is not to spin. launch on a 75 shot vs. a 150 at 5500 and 28" slicks and you'll probably hook. then flip the switch at the 60' line for an additional 100-150.
Re: Interesting Idea..Yes..No? yes, it woudl work like that, personally, i woudl do a dry first shot (cheap, just add a noid and spray through the maf) then use the second stage, as the wet kit you already have.
if you need to buy a second wet front end, you should just look into a progressive controler.
