Ask your riggers.

And no, psycho packing will not make your main open quicker.

This will give you a very brief intro to psycho packing:

Note the ROLLING vs folding.

Talking to a rigger about psycho packing before using it is prudent.

I psycho pack my Spectre and have long soft openings... just fine for this "old man".

No, I didn't learn it from the video... I learned it at the elbow of a rigger who watched/coached me on the technique until she was confident that I could do it safely. (Thank you Laura!)

The choices we make have consequences, for us & for others!

Want it to open faster take your slider off. No packing method is gonna give you a reliable means of speeding or slowing your opening. Depending on manufacture you can contact them and get a smaller slider or you might need a new line set.

What a great Advice!
Packing methods change the openings, leave the cells out of the pack job and it will inflate faster.
