Default best progressive control unit?

I am looking for a new progressive control unit and need to know whats out there.
It needs to be a window switch , DBW, lean spike function, AFR shut down and so on.

I have been looking at the HSW MicroEdge +.

Is there anything better?

I have a DP with a big lean spike at the hit so I like the option where I can delay the nitrous so the fuel hits first.
Does the Launcher do this?

I like the launcher because it is laptop programmable and data logs.

honestly dont know about that function... i dont use it nor did i look for it.
the people who built the AMS-1000 for the boosted cars are making one for nitrous cars that has huge amounts of functions... i'd check in to that... it will even do your laundry

The microedge + does have a built in delay along with a lean out delay. How big is your lean spike and how long does it last? I would work more on fixing the problem with your system rather than compensating by delaying the nitrous. If you still have a small one, then you can work with the nitrous and lean out delay.

You also get a massive list of features along with it as well. Including A/F shutdown, Digital bottle contents display, RPM or Time based dual stage progession, etc. Really a great tool.

I bought one for a customer but have not installed it yet. Just looking to see what's all out there.

My lean spike is not that bad. My dedicated is at low fuel pressure and when I hit a 300 shot it will spike due to the sudden pressure drop. I thought about changing to high pressure. I also thought about running a return line with a jet to bleed some fuel back to the tank. Any recommendations?

I would stick with low pressure, tuning will be much easier. What dedicate do you have?

I just told you wrong. I have the high pressure and thought about going low pressure. Sorry I got it backwards.

I have the C5 Nitrous outlet dedicated

is this going in a racecar or street car? if its going in a racecar make sure and check how many custom plot points you get with each different controller.... some controllers make you go linear and some will let you plot out your own 20 or so points. and in a racecar the custom plot points are needed very badly.
