Default Dual stage or single big shot?

What do you guys think?

hit it with the 200-250

or 150 + 50-100 ?

Gonna try this on 325/50 MT drag radials


By the way I wanna rip the bumper off at least 1 time

is this a stock short block? Id say dual stages using dual window switches or better yet the new NX/FJO dual stage controller. One stage at 3000 and the other at like 4700.

i vote dual stage also.you can always pill it up a size or 2 on the second if still not fast enough.short block would probably last longer also.

If you really want to get that bumper dragging, then go for the big hit out of the hole (nothing like a massive torque spike). But, if you want to save wear and tear, and possibly a better 60ft (traction) go with the dual stage.

I'd say dual - BUT it depends on your set-up - suspension, rear-end, engine mods, fuel, etc.

I have a stock bottom end. I shoot 200 right out of the hole. BUT I have all aftermarket suspension, aftermarket fuel pump, window switches, etc. More than likely it will go to 250 this summer.

Every trip down the track could be the motor's last You spray you'll end up paying soon or later.

Its got forged pistons and ARP rod bolts in it.

TH400 + Tbrake

90/10 hals up front spoon TQ arm, lca's ...12 bolt

have the bigger intank pump and going to hot wire it.


I'd like to hit it with the 200 shot outta the hole but the DR's might not hook


HMMMM .. maybe through some slicks on it for a few passes then dual stage it


I also put on a K member, lower A arms and took out the front bumper support over the winter ... Wheelie weight

You know my vote, leave on the 120 to 150 jet, and bring in the extra 100-150 after peak torque. Keep the front end low(er then verticle) and hooking. With the window switch and that time delay thing I found, we can hook enough nitrous to go deep nines on the radials I think. Aint skeerd

I'd say leave with as much nitrous as the tires will hold them put a second stage on it after that.

If the suspension is right you wont have an issue with that tire whatsover...Ive blasted it with rigt at 700 ft lbs of torque off the t-brake and they stuck like glue for me. Blast it with all 250 out the gate!

I say come out of the hole on both stages, at least a 300 shot, you'll stand it up right on the bumper. lol

If you go the dual stage route I would hit the second stage about a second out of the hole.

I hate progressive controllers, wont use them on that car. Window switch and a time delay makes me a progressive controll
