Default SHifting on juice question

I have a pop charger, MREv2, 5/16 spacer, test pipes, Borla TD, Utech and a 125 NX shot... Just wanted to know if you guys are powershifting on spray??? I have my Utec setup as a window switch so even if I over rev or miss a gear the spray cuts out but still dont know if I should powershift... Please let me know...

Some do, some don't. I won't be when I hit the track. Not worth damaging anything IMO, especially with the tranny problems the Z has.

I did...but not every gear. 2 to 3 would break the tires loose.

I wouldnt recommend it, it looks like you have a nice set up though....almost identical to what i'll be getting installed in a couple of days

Hey, any of you guys squeeze on 1st gear??? I ask cause where I run everbody does a rolling 1st run and I have to play catch up once I spray in 2nd... From a nice 3-4 thousand rpm roll is it safe to spray... I have 20's with 295's in the back so I dont think traction will be that bad...

1st gear is very short and 9 times out of 10, you'll spin the tires. I never spray in first....I would spin with just a 75 shot. Gotta keep in mind that when you flip that switch....the extra power is instant. That's why you spin.

spraying in first will knock 2 to 3 tenths off your quarter mile times easily, i always spray in first when i have traction.


i shift really fast and lift up the gas just a bit on nitrous to kick the tps switch off...
