Default 150 wet hit from a dig?

I have a BMN window switch, with the first gear lock out. It somehow isnt working and im afraid once i go to launch its gonna blast the spray. Whats a safe way to launch the car with a 150 hit, and not doing damage? This is a full bolt on/cam 6-spd car.

make sure you have the clutch slightly out so there is a slight pre-load on the tranny and rearend and slip the clutch out. Its the slack and the sudden jolt of the teath hitting each other that will break stuff.

My 1st gear lock out did not work at 1st due to me having the spray turn off to close to the shift points.. So, it would shift before it saw the RPM's I set it at.. Not sure how it would work on your 6 speed but what are you shifting at and what do you have the spray turning off at?

1. Remove 10 bolt
2. Install 9"

Really if you're on street tires you'll just blow roast them and shouldn't hurt anything. If you're on slicks you might brake something without the bottle.

Don't worry about it then. What did you buy the 9" for if not to beat on it?

3k or higher. Assuming you have a WOT switch & you launch above 3 k you shouldn't have any fuel puddling problems.

Use a window switch and set it to activate at no less than 2800 RPM's, youll be fine. The puddling is not as common as you may hear on the net. Once you launch and catch traction, floor it and it will activate once you get up in the rpms.

Well i got out with the spray tonight. Unfortunatly the bottle was alittle low..so i was only at about 800psi. I decided to just to go from a roll. The spray was there..but definitly not up to par due to low psi. Everything ran good though..so once i get that PSI up..its good to go!
