Default FJO or Nitrous Outlet progressive controller?

The FJO controller looks nice because you can setup a graph for it to follow instead of just ramping from A to B at a constant rate. However, you need a laptop to change settings. The Nitrous Outlet one doesn't need a laptop so it would be easier to make changes.

If you have one or the other please chime in.

Then I need to take my laptop with me to the track each time if I want to make changes. Which also means bringing a charger for my laptop and a power inverter to run it from my car. Is it really that much better?

you laptop doesn't have a battery? no battery life? fjo is very easy to use, and you can switch the program in about 1 minute. i haven't used it on a LSx car yet, but it made a huge difference in my nitrous saturn. it helped with traction so much, being able to make a custom ramp for a 75shot was great. instead of blowing the tires away i could bring it in slow then ramp it up fast. the amount of adjustabilty is what makes it better.

Chris at nitrous outlet told me their controllers are on backorder for a while also. He sold me an FJO. I haven't run it yet, but so far I'm impressed with the software and features.

Like suggested above if having to use the laptop is a turn off use the NOS mini. It works well and has the same features minus the rpm base ramp. Still has the time base ramp though which is the most popular.

NOS mini for the win! Sometimes technology is a hindrance, and a good case in point is not being able to change your nitrous settings because you don't have your laptop.

I am planning on getting the Mr gasket nox box 2. Runs off vss and rpm signal as well for speed mapped nitrous control and data logging.
