Default F.R.E.D Has anyone used one????

Has anyone used a progressive controller. Do they work and is worth the money?

The "Maximiser" AKA "F.R.E.D." (Fu cking rediculous electronic device) AKA "The Traction Master"

It is a good unit that progressivly controls the amount of nitrous given to your engine at any one time. It can be set in incraments of seconds from the time of activation as to how much nitrous will be given:
1)activation
2)first 3 seconds-15% of specified amount of nitrous delivered to motor.
3)next 4 seconds-60% of specified amount of nitrous delivered to motor.
4)next 6 second-100% of specified amount of nitrous delivered to the motor.

The unit can be set up how ever you want. The system works well. The unit pulse's the fuel and nitrous selenoid so it does not deliver the complete shot all at once. but over time will tax the crap out of you 'noids. I would suggest rebuilding them once a year if you are to happy about hitting the button.

Thanx Nat !! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> So would I be correct in saying that the Maximiser and F.R.E.D. are the same device ? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Been looking at the system for a while. www.nitrouswarehouse.com had them for $450 2 months ago.

Good luck guys, Let us know how they work out and install problems.
