So, I'm thinking about Spraying the House Down. **Questions**

So, should I start out with a 50-75 shot or should I spray the world at it ?

What gears should I spray through (1-4)?

Should I hook it up through a button or a throttle switch?

What's the best placement for the nozzle/nozzles ?

Have you been able to make this thing stick while off the spray yet?

I should hopefully have my traction problem figured out by next year.

I'd like to but I need to get some answers from people who have used it on turbo rotaries.

why dont you get your setup fully maxed out before you spray it?? Unless you already have been out with the car that i didnt see.. your car is gonna fly just on boost alone so why throw another thing in the mix before you have even made a ***** out run with what you have?

i second that..
if your car made 600+ twhp, then its got more in it...
the P.R.'s are at the track every day, more track time is what you need

I 3rd that! But nitrous can be so much fun. Just try and nail the setup you have before going ***** out.

Eric i have been slow to say anything becouse there is better people on here to comment on this subject but a friend that races NHRA rx7 warned me that the porting is important with no2. Overlap can cause problems. Might be worth getting opinion on your porting!

Ya don't need no spray! With your HP to weight ratio, you should be in the low 9's! You need to get your suspension dialed in first. Japtrix went 9.40's weighing in at 2600 and change w/driver, with the same HP you have. Oh btw, and that was using the IRS cutting consistent 1.3 60ft! You haven't learned the car yet and ya wanna spray it? You need to get someone who knows suspensions to go with you to the track, and help you dial it in. Once you got that done and your're going low 9's, then you spray it!
