Default Spraying out of the hole without windows switch

Having a 4k stall am I at much risk spraying 100-150 out of the hole without a window switch? Has a single nozzle wet setup on it now.

A loose converter lessens the need to have a window switch, however I still like to put one on just in case. If it was a stock stall or a tighter converter I would be more worried, however, it is going to flash pretty high out of the hole.

A window switch is a must. Reguardless of the bottom side, on the top side bounce of the rev limiter(breakage ect.) you don't want to be spraying. Cheap insurance.

That is what I was getting at too. It's well worth the ~190$ to completely eliminate the possibility for human error or some freak scenario where it tags the limiter.

Then theirs that guy, me lol who uses a push button handheld switch to activate it right out of the hole and never had a a problem (knock on keyboard) I do have a 4000 stall also. I also use a foot switch for the second stage and run deep in the single digits.

I don't have a window switch on mine, and I run the PT4000 stall. My limiter is set at 6700 but have the car shifting at 6400. No push button for me, just WOT activated

I've never ran a window switch. My car leaves off the tbrake at 5200. Been spraying it like that for years... But if u like ur motor put one in. What works for me may not work for u. I don't really care about this motor anyways. Once she blows it will give me a good reason to build a motor

LOL! I bet that is wicked leaving out on 5k. The window switch is not as big of a deal for you, as for someone who is foot braking on a stock converter to 2200 RPM's.

Yes it leaves extremely violent. No progressive on a 67n jet low 1.2 60fts mid to high 9s in the the quarter all on 275 radials. New converter in it now so it may not leave with that rpm since its setup to be sprayed with 250. Interested to see how much rpm i leave with now. I use to street race the car alot. Not anymore so I'll share times or whatever information someone may need...

Oh I agree if someone is foot braking yeah by a window switch. Lol about 6yrs ago before i knew anything about nitrous I went threw 3 ls6 intakes before I figured that out. But I ended up building a th400 with a tbrake and still never bought one. Like u said though I'm leaving with so much rpm it doesn't matter. I'd say anything on a foot brake bellow 3000 needs a window switch.
