I have the Harris Speed Works Micro Edge+. It has alot of the things I wanted for the safety stuff. Window switch, wide open throttle, fuel cut, gear lock out and progressive control. It probably does more I just cant remember it all now. I dont have much experience with it yet because I need to upgrade my fuel system for the nitrous. I was running way to lean on nitrous.

to my knowledge the plus is just a progressive controller, right?

if you are staying with a small shot, do you ever even intend to bring it in gradually?

I had the regular microedge and was VERY happy with the controller. Compact, good display and it worked flawlessly.

Love my FJO Mini controller. Window switch, WOT switch, 1st gear lockout, progressive ramp rate, etc -- works smoothly and very easy to customize with the laptop (connects via USB setup) and the software is very simple to use.

I believe the + is the progressive addition, I plan to have a 200ish shot on the car. I want 700 rwhp and 700 rwtrq on the bottle. If I can hook the full 200 shot I wont use the progressive part but I think I will need it.

I actually bought my microedge used ($125) and then sent it back to Harris to have the + upgrade performed ($140 I think). So I have a totale of $265 in my microedge +. They are still in buisness but they only communicate through email. Not the best way to communicate but the transaction went fine.

I have very little use of it so far. Less than half a bottle while starting to tune on the dyno and we realized I dont have enough fuel. I talked to several people who used the microedge + and were very happy with it.

I use NX's Maximizer II. Paid twice what the Maximizer 4 goes for new, and it seems to have fewer features, but I worked many long, hard, minimum wage hours for that! lol

It does what I want... auto-bottle heater control, lean cut-off (based on wideband input), controls two stages (my fuel and nitrous on separate stages to mitigate the lean-spike), ramps based on RPM, rolls into the ramp based on throttle position. There's a lot more stuff I don't use, like auto-bottle opener, auto-purge, boost cut-off, something with what gear you're in, ignition retard, etc. I don't feel like figuring that out though.

I would find whatever is the best deal in the classifieds.

I was just looking through the ads yesterday and there were over 15 ads on progressive controllers for sale.

There was a micro edge in the classifieds for 125 and that included everything the guy above paid 265 for.

Buy it used they don't wear out.

I use a Dynotune progressive right now. It works very well for the money. Simple install, has always worked and has 12v output for various options. I use a 12v output for my step retard on my MSD. Works great.

I will probably be switching to an NX unit in the near future.
