Default Need Inexpensive Progressive Controller

I am looking for an add on progressive controller like the HSW Angle. The only problem with using the Angle is that it's for small load solenoids only. I already have the MicroEdge and Interface. The Interface can now allow us to use a progressive hit on the dry kits, yes progressing the injectors. (will work for standard kits too)

However, don't try this unless your Interface was shipped after Sept '08, and you can send your current Interface back for upgrading. Anyway, i was hoping that there was another add on progressive control box out there that just has the progressive feature and not much more?

Robert

I've used the FJO with good sucess but it does need a laptop to program it.
I believe it will control the larger load noids.

Why not just use the Angle to toggle relay's instead of the solenoids. That way you have a very minimal investment. I've got the NOS mini progressive on my '70 but I've only had to use it for its window features so far. It is a pretty basic controller. The FJO has a lot more control but as mentioned above you need a laptop for programming.

I run a mini FJO box, It works with the bigger noids plus it can activate a 2nd stage also.

If I remember correctly there is a guy in the for sale section selling a NX maximizer for $100. I think it's the older one, but you could search for it.

I know the FJO progressive will work in place of the MicroEdge and have helped set one up, but am keeping the current MicroEdge.

Hmmm... Interesting I never thought about that? Wonder if the low amp side can take progressing or the many on/off actions. I have used the low amp side for triggering stages and ended up going another route due to it not working all the time so am skepical.

Dynotune and Nitrous Outlet have them. I think 149.00. Link for some instrucitons.
Unit is simple only 4 dials and 4 wires to hook up.
Cycling a relay to make a solenoid pulse is not a good idea. Relays are slow and to designed to be cycled like that.

Can I use this as an add on to my current electronics? that's what i am looking for, as I don't need a full controller, just the progressive capabilities. I tried to find it to look at the wiring but no luck. So far the trick product Ricky put up seems the best bet as looking briefly at the wiring I can simply tap it into the existing set-up/wiring I have? now if yours is wire-able so i can just use the progressive part then I would certainly be interested.
