Default 9 second gurus!!

I am going to head out to the track at the end of May,I want to get my car ready and see if I can hit the 9's.I purchased front Qa1's but cant decide on the front spring choice,275lbs or 300lbs.Its my daily driver 408ci Camaro SS.Its gone 10.60et with a 1.4.I also need to get a progressive something setup to ramp up the nitrous slowly,last time I tried it I just spun the tires and ran only a 10.20 with a 1.51 sixty foot.Its a M6 with 3.73 gears.Im thinking about nitro Daves progressive box,but wouldnt my nitrous shut off and on if I dont power shift?What sthe best way to get full effect of the nitrous so I can finally be in the 9's

Get the 300lbs front springs. You also dont want the nos on if you are on the clutch.

You want the nitrous off during the shift if you are on the clutch, use a microswitch

What I mean is wouldnt it ramp up slowly from lets say 100 to shot in 1.5 seconds,but everytime I shift the ramping would start again,is that the best way?The car already has the microswitch installed just need to provide a soft hit for launch,I dont have 28inch tires,all I have is 26".Thanks MAdman,Ill get the 300lbs springs

I think after you come out of first you can set it to full shot with no delay. Ask in the nitrous forum though.
