Scott, you dont technically need a progressive to tame the power when you spray. You said you blow the tires off when it hits, and im assuming you have tried different starting rpm's and none has made a difference. So an easy thing you can do is have your tuner pull a large amount of timing when the n2o activates and ramp it back in over time, itll have the same effect as a progressive.
So if you pull 10 degress for nitrous now, try pulling 20 right away and ramp in 10 over .5 sec (or by rpm). You need to go to the track and only worry about the launch, if it spins abort that run and try something else. Theres a million things that will have an affect on the launch, tire pressure, burnout procedure, launch rpm, nitrous delay, shock settings, instant center, yadda yadda. Its gonna take time to get all those things to jive.
And X2 on posting a link or some up close shots of the article, I want to read it

Took the car out for about a 30 minute drive today. Everything is running well so far. Bring on the spring.
Planning on a solid axle swap this fall, also. Gotta do wheelies.

Even though it is UBER nice today, most guys probably won't get their cars out this early. At least thats how it has been in the past.
My pile won't be out for a while longer. It would be nice if it stayed this way all the way until summer. It's amazing it has lasted, and forecasted to last as long as it has. I just find it hard to believe it would stay this way long enough to get my car out early, and I think many may also feel the same way.
Let us know if anyone is out.

I would be out this weekend but tonight I had the unfortunate circumstance of attending one of my best friend's funerals, and the rest of the weekend I'm working nights to assist in the opening of our new hospital (Parkview Regional Medical Center).
Car is ready to roll though.

Anyone need some skinny's for the track this year? I'm selling my front Prostars with M/T Sportman tires. They are 15x3 1/2. They have alot of little nicks in them but would make someone a good track wheel. Tires have 1-2 seasons left. Looking to get $125.

I drove around for a little while on Friday night but didn't see anyone. It's definitely been nice enough to get the car out I hadn't drove mine since last labor day, so I was just pleased it started lol!
