It's ok, a bit dated. Me personally, there are better options out there.

I agree with Matt. That thing is very outdated. Much better units on the market now.

the best, most powerful nitrous computer you can buy.......... in 92. :lmao:

seriously, it was a great nitrous computer for older conventional ignition motors, until the last couple years when the technology leapfrogged forward.. now its dated, and you cant take advantage of the timing functions on the LS1 anyway..

the $200 new FJO two stage progressive controller does more.. and its smaller and more accurate anyway..

its a digital progressive controller. its about the size of a big pack of gum. heres the overview from the makers:
http://www.fjoracing.com/products/2stageminicontroller/

I agree 100%. You will be allot happier with a newer unit that will allow you to dial it in accurately.

depending on how you wire it, it could be 2 stages.. say stage one that comes on at 3200 and stage two that comes on at 4400 or whatever..
or, you could wire it so that you could control the nitrous on one and the fuel on another.

this is a progressive controller...

on the mastermind, you would set your start RPM, end RPM, and percentage and it would feed the nitrous in... if you were to graph that, it would be a straight line.

this controller lets you make a curve, to better dial in how it hits.. it doesnt have to be a straight line.

download the software from the FJO link i posted above, and screw around with it.. once you have it infront of you, its not hard to figure out..
