Default Too small of an rpm range?

We just finished up the install on the better half's ta. We've got an upgraded in tank pump and are spraying 150 wet. Car has stock stall ( ) and stock 2.73's ( ) right now. SLP lid, longtubes o/r y and loudmouth catback. We have the MSD digital window switch and a WOT switch. We are spraying from 3500-5500. Seems like to small of a window to me. How do you adjust this thing? Should we go 3000-6000 or 3500-6000 or 3000-5500? Any suggestions? We might back down and only spray 100 thru it as well.

I would go with the 3000-6000, but its all in what you want and how your car handles the shot at low rmp...(spinning the crap out of the tires). As far as backing down to a hundred if your not having any issues and have a good tune stay with the 150 you will just feel cheated otherwise.

i would do 3500-5800 if an a4, i didnt see what tranny you have. from what ive seen/read the lower the rpm spraying, the less velocity the intaking air has, and could cause some problems, but im not expert. some else could probly explain it better

do you know where you are going to be. Like what unit or what side of the tracks you are going to be on and what is your rank?

I have been thinking about changing mine to 3000-6000 but have not tried it yet. Does any one know what the rev limiter is set on a M6

im seriously thinking i about to buy a wideband controller from innovate. I have been watching all there videos on it and that thing is amazing, plus they have them on sell for 350.00 That is still alot of money though. But i did finally get my LT's.

It is basically a more accurate a/f ratio monitor. It takes the place of the stock narrow band ones. The narrow band a/f sensors are not all that accurate. These things can record a session of driving and play it back to you on a laptop so you know exactly how your performing. There is alot more to them but if you go to the innovate sight you will find everything you need to know about them. I really want one but there are so many other things i need right now i dont know. Plus being on a military budget doesnt help. You should know all about that.
