Default From a 12.0 to a 12.8 with the Vigilante 3000?? Help

Well after i took my car to get the thing installed I took it to the track, I ran it on motor and ran a 12.7 (due to elevation), which was fine. Then I ran it on 100 shot of Nitrous and ran a 12.5? Im like what the fu..? So i run it again and a 12.8. So im thinking its the converter so i hit the switch at 30 and run a 12.4. Is it the converter? It worked great on motor but sucked on nitro. The guy who sold it to me told me it was for nitro and motor, but now im thinking its just for motor...

N/A at the Houston Raceway I went a 12.7 @ 115 and at our local raceway I go a 13.1 @ 109(elevation).
My 60 ft N/A is around a 2.0x and on 100 shot its a 1.7. Now with the converter my 60 ft. dropped to a 1.9 and on N20 it went a 1.8 which i can do better with 100 shot without the converter. Can a converter not made for Nitro effect an E.T. that much? I should have been at 11.7X. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> Oh well i didnt even get to try out the 150 shot but im getting it redone for Nitro and im running the 150. <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />

It's called Torque Management. Do a search for my name/member id with that subject
