1st gear is unmanageable
 

Well now with those 4:10's, first gear is nothing but smoke, absolutly usless, so I am going to put a momentary button in my T-handle and run the nitrous manually. It is usless in first gear so if I put a button in the T-handle like a B&M shifter has then I can use it when I choose. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Yah 4:10s with nitrous apparently get squirrley.

Need to do some suspension work, should be ok then, nitrous and all.

you could always start in second gear

You need sticky tires and suspension. I run 4.10's with a 150 shot .....launching at 5000 rpm my best 60" is 1.58. With the car set-up right it will hook:punk:

I know I would eat a clutch so I won't use nitrous in first gear until I get use to it, I think I would like more control over when I sprey it.

Man you got a really fast beautiful car I'm thinking that I should be a 12 second car now.

Listen to what Jay said. Often times suspension gets over-looked.

BUT, in the meantime, just try keeping the pedal off the floor in first and feather the clutch a tad. That will keep you from spray too early. That is just life when you have the juice and not the traction to deal with it.

You can try a button and there are other means to prevent spray in 1 st gear, but in the end it will just make it harder to spray right through the other gears.

this is what i use on my car . works great. hope it helps.


FJO Racing Products is very pleased to offer our 2-Stage Progressive Mini-Controller.

The 2-STAGE PROGRESSIVE MINI-CONTROLLER combines the functions of our 2-STAGE TPS AND RPM WINDOW SWITCH and our HIGH CURRENT SOLENOID DRIVER all into one very compact module. It can progressively drive two channels, each with a 40 amp load capacity (continuous duty). The device also supports low-voltage OEM, V10 or 3 cylinder TACH signals without the need for additional adapters. It works with most OEM throttle position sensors including most drive-by-wire vehicles. This device also includes FJO's "real curve" ramp which allows you to create a progressive curve instead of just a ramp, and the ramp can be either time based or RPM based. All this and only the size of a spark plug box.

The 2-STAGE PROGRESSIVE MINI-CONTROLLER is built for the racing environment to withstand heat, vibration, dirt and water. It is designed to operate over the temperature range from -40 to +185 degrees Fahrenheit (-40 to +85 degrees Celsius).
