does anyone spray below 3000 rpm?
Re: does anyone spray below 3000 rpm? as a general rule of thumb, do not spray below 3000rpm.
Although, if you have a dual stage dry or dual stage dry/wet, with the first stage being very small, you could spray just below 3000rpm. But you better be on the ball because the lower you spray the higher cylinder pressure gets. So be careful
If its a wet kit single stage, stay with the 3000 rpm rule.

Re: does anyone spray below 3000 rpm? I sprayed my 5177 (dry) kit from about 2200 a couple times. Wouldn't recommend it though, but it does make the car pull like a freight train at that low of an RPM. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
A freind of mine sprayed a wet 100 shot off the line in an automatic 1998 Z28. It had the stock convertor and ET streets. He left the line at about 1800 with the juice flowing. He didn't break anything, but again I wouldn't recommend it.
If you can't afford to break things, keep it above 3,000.

Re: does anyone spray below 3000 rpm? My buddy with an LT1 sprays out of the hole with a stock converter every once in a while on a completely stock car. Hasnt broke anything...yet!

Re: does anyone spray below 3000 rpm? Yes, it backfired........blew up everything...... the fire that followed melted everything under the hood........I had to put that out with dirt (no extinguisher)....I will put it back on the bottle, but with lots of safety gear.

Re: does anyone spray below 3000 rpm? definitly listen to the above.... under 3000 and you have the increased probability to bog the car.. which is a BIG NO NO on the spray..BIG backfires are a PROBABILITY not a possibility.. that and the engine will ast longer.. especially if you like the wet shot in an injected car... stay above 3....

Re: does anyone spray below 3000 rpm? I sprayed a 100 shot dry on my 00 silverado 5.3 and my 99 vette at 1800 rpm on a window switch. I prolly used 50 bottles in each vehicle, and never had a problem.(maybe im just lucky, but it just hit and went ) BTW...Truck and vette both had/have stock converters...truck was 3.42 gears with ET streets, and vette 2.73 gears with street tires. Makes it easy to pull good 60' times...1.77 on yokohama AVS sport, and 1.79 on stock runflat tires
