I have my RPM switch set to turn on 4K rpm and off on 6.4k. My car hooks up pretty quickly in first gear at around 2K rpm with very small amount of wheelspin. Should I set my nitrous to come on at 3K?

LoL, i have my window switch set for 3000 and 6400, but i don't arm it until after 3600. i'm too lazy to get a 3600 pill. you shouldn't have too much spin if you set it to 3000rpm.

I was testing it out on the street last night. I would brake torque to 1.5k and punched it. The tires would break loose for a fraction of sec and got traction around 2K. The 2K-4K seem to take forever. Man...when it reached 4K...the engine gave out a different pitch and the tires would break loose more than my launch. The rest of the RPM was just a blur...

A 100 shot at 1200 psi is a 125 shot or there abouts...

Hmm, Tony, mine is set at 3.6k rpms, or will be. Order another set of pills. I think 4k is way to late on an auto. I also think 3k is early too. I would either go 3.4l or 3.6k rpms. My tires dont break out when i spray, wtf?

a .047 jet is none other than a .047 jet, so it's 100 shot.
