I was wondering when to spray. I also wanted to know procedures. OK, I'm spraying with window switch and want(or need) to disable the system, Do I let off the gas slowly to get the WOT to disengage? or can I just let go of throttle? and with shifting gears do I try to keep the RPMs to real high to rev limit? Lastly what gears are best to spray in?

any gear is fine just do it above 3 grand.Originally posted by ECOtec GodsConsider this: 800 hp is a lot on a 2.0L motor. With 750hp, three-quarters of a thousand you're basically dealing with 6.14 hp per cubic inch. Pressures and stresses of all kinds thermal and mechanical loading across the board escalate to extreme levels. A Chevrolet 5.7-liter LS1 V8 with this much specific power (horsepower per cubic inch) would be making 2,137 hp

Just let off like you normally would...and DON"T HIT THE REV LIMITOR.
The gears you want to spray in are the gears that you still have traction in.-6S Resident Mechanical Forensics member #001.

Ok I wasn't sure with the wet kit and all the safeties. I was a passenger in a supercharged V6 fiero with a 100 shot dry, when he blue all 6 piston rings by letting go of the gas at a VERY high speed, thus spinning the car in a 1435deg kinda way. So letting off gas normallty will disengage due to the WOT and if I set my RPMWS at 5500 I could (in theory) just pass through the spray?sigpic

Originally posted by Plastic Fury-Anytime above 3 grand. You say you are using a window switch?? Digital is easier but the manual w/ pills works too. 3200 is a good safe point to start and I have my shut off set at 6300. You DO NOT want to spray into the limiter, if you do very bad things happen.
Do you still shift at 6500? or shift at 6300?

Originally posted by Schizzo97SC2I dunno, I like my 2nd roll fine since it's a bit taller than the mp3, but 3rd is a beast once I'm moving.2002 Saturn SL1- 5 speed, basic, slow, and staying that way.
