Question Progressive Controller question
My solenoids say that they draw up to 33amps each"I believe". They are Nitrous Express Lighting Power Pro solenoids"1fuel-1nos". My progressive controller says it can handle a combined 45amp load. Will this be ok?

Sounds like the safest bet would be to use an external relay and let the contoller fire that. Is your controller single or dual stage?

It is single stage. It is the schnitz 2 dial. It looks to be the same as the NX 2 dial. What kind of relay would you suggest and how would I wire it?

I may be wrong but that sounds like a whole lot of draw for a noid. Not sure hoe you controler works but I dont would the ramp work through a relay?

That is correct. The blue wire magnets draw 33 amps. The fuel solenoids to match that draw about 11.

Garrett will those solenoids work proper with that controller? I could get another controller if I have to but dont really need to spend the extra money if I dont have to

If the nitrous solenoid is 33 and the fuel is 11 that is 44 and the controller will handle 45, so it should be fine.

It should work fine. I have heard of a couple people burning up the Edelbrock controllers but they only support 40 amps I believe.
