just spray at wide open throttle over 3,000rpm at minimum. doesnt really matter what gear you spray in as long as the car holds traction.

i wouldn't ever suggest spraying in 1st or 5th.

the logic is, 1st, all you're gonna do is roast the tires and put a lot of beating on the trans, 5th, all that's gonna happen is you're probably gonna ruin the clutch.

when i used to spray in my 3 speed auto, it would only spray between 45-100 mph, above 3100rpm, and at WOT

That would be Danny Leavelle. He had a 5-speed and while he was staging, his WOT/Window switch malfunctioned and sprayed.

Hopefully my car is in the 12s

Now if you meant my old Cobalt, some weight reduction, stickier tires, a ported head, and a VERY free flowing exhaust, along with a good launch and 7000rpm shiftpoints should net you in the high 13's

What's your guys opinion on keeping bottles in the car during the winter months like 30*F?

I've had mine in the car for a few weeks now and bottle pressure has been ~300 or so. I brought it inside today and pressure is up to ~610. Also what about non liquid filled nitrous gauges

You can safely store the bottles in cold weather like that, but don't spray at those pressures. I wouldnt spray at anything less than 900psi

Oh I know. I have a warmer and don't spray until about 950 anyway.

Ps, bottles take forever to get warm in cold weather!
