Its a great piece, one of my friends who's a dealer for NX has it on his car. I would not run a large shot w/o one. Especially with a stock 10 bolt in the car.

Thanks for the info guys. I heard that progressive controllers ( which this sounds like ) are hard on the solenoids, creating a lot of heat due to the pulsing of the signal. Does anyone have any first hand experience with this?

Default What is F.R.E.D?

I know it's a nitrous controller of some sort, but what all does it do, where do you buy it, and why are some people partial to it? Thanks.
