Default Direct Port Question

Howdy! Got a question for the experts. I am confused on how I should wire my 4 Solenoid single stage Direct Port kit. I am going to be using Methanol in my standalone (hence 4 noids). I have a HSW Micro edge with driver. I am worried about the total current draw. The Nitro dave nitrous noids draw 25amp each, and the fuel of 7 amps each. Is there anyway possible to run all 4 noids using a single stage of the controller, without exceeding the max current draw? Is it possible to run 2 noids on one stage and 2 on the second stage at the same time? Car is a 99 Camaro with a forged 370, 6sp, dana 60, not that it matters. Thanks guys, look forward to hear what you got.

use a relay for each stage and how are you plumbing the lines off each silonoide and yes you can run bot stages at the same time. and do you have a window switch?

I run a 4 noid system. I would never separate anything.
I'm too worried about something failing.
I run all 4 noids to a quality terminal strip, that has jumpers for the + & -.
I run the power through dual 40 amp relays in parallel, again in case of failure.
Those relays are triggered by timers, switches, or push button, depending on what stage it is.
I run 3 stages and trigger them all differently.
Even if your controller could handle 64 amps, I doubt I would feed that much through it.
Relays are cheap.

Good luck.
