Is it safe to spray 100 wet on the LS6 intake manifold?

i was wondering due to the risk of a backfire

Thanks

spraying threw the stock ls6 intake manifold? that's the question right? if so yeah safe, just make sure you have all of your saftey items on like the wot switch and a window switch....and dont over see the spark plugs, do the sparkplugs before you forget about them!! hope that was your question.

Its safe if you use all the safety devices. (Window Switch)

I have been spraying for many years.

Intake explosions are a minimal risk. Dosen't happen to much. Mostly from user error or install error.

Never activate the Nitrous, below 2500, detonation has alot bigger chance to happen below that rpm. I have my Zex Traction Control Window Switch to kick on at 2700 and kick out at 6000rpms, I have first gear locked out, thats a nice feature with this switch. When I go to the track the rpms kick on at 2600 and off at 6200rpms, I have a cam so I'm able to take the revs up a little higher. Hope this helps.
