How does it work with a 2 step? How do you set it up to spray. I want to run N20 off the line, but does it setup with a percentage, or what? I know I cannot spray the full amount off the line.

If you forget what settings you have the Maximizer currently set to, you can also download the current settings to your Palm to see what they are at (I guess this would also help if you accidentally delete the profile that you have uploaded, and want it back).
Hope this helps. If you have any other specific questions, let me know.

The Maximizer allows you to gradually increase your shot size over a pre-determined time (set by you), for each gear. For example, you could start out at a 35 shot when you hit the throttle, and over .5 seconds increase the shot to a 75 shot. Then, when you shift to 2nd, you could start off at a 50 shot, and increase to a 100 shot over .3 seconds (numbers are all arbitrary, you can set them to whatever you want). Point being, it's totally flexible.
Now, the adjustment in shot size is done by percentage of your total shot size. So, if you're running jets for a 150 shot, and set it at 50% to start, you will have a 75 shot to start. Because of this, if you were contemplating a 2-stage system, all you'd need to do is set up a 1-stage system, and only set the Maximizer to finish at 100% for whatever gear you wanted that second stage to be in.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Not exactly sure what you're asking (it's late and I'm tired), but I'm pretty sure the system could accomplish what you're trying to do.
Sunset,
The program requires that you input whether you're car is a stick or auto, and if a stick, how many gears.
***One thing to note, the Maximizer doesn't actually know what gear your car is in.
Now, if your settings are the same for each gear (ie. if you have each gear to run from a 50 to 150 shot over .3 seconds), this isn't a big deal. But if you use the Maximizer for what it is really for (allowing optimal traction in lower gears with a smaller shot, and working your way up to a bigger shot), then it can be problematic if you are wanting to run the system on an open road instead of drag racing.
For example, say you set the Maximizer so that your 1st gear starts at a 35 shot and ends at a 75 shot, and that your 2nd gear shot starts at 50 and ends at 100, and so on. This might be fine for a pure drag race. However, if you activated the system on an open highway, say you are in 2nd gear when first activated, the system will use your 1st gear settings for the initial shot. Then, when you shift to 3rd gear, the system will use your 2nd gear settings, and so forth. Again, the Maximizer doesn't know what gear your car is in, and so when it is first activated, it will use the 1st gear settings. Like I said, not a big deal for drag racing, but if you ever run the car starting at a higher speed, it may be an issue.
On another side note, the system will "reset" itself by dropping back down to the 1st gear settings for your next run, after a certain amount of time pre-determined by you (maybe 35 seconds or so).

Tim,
I have a Maximizer on order. What Palm models does it work with it? Can I just go get the cheapest one?
Also what tach wire does it tap into for RPM? In my case I won't be putting this on an LS1. It's going on a GTP. Do you have any tips as far as setting it up right? To give you some background, I currently have a low 11's GTP that I'm adding a NX DP system to with NXLs, dual noids, genx-2, etc. I will be tuning it in on a dyno with a wideband, but I sure could use any getting started tips as to how to initially set it up.

controller
Go to http://www.fjoracing.com/ and they have a lot of very useful information on the controller. They are the ones who make it for NX. You can even download the software first and see what all it does. It even has a setting where it will shut the nitrous if your o2 sensors drop below a voltage you set. It will also log a wideband o2 you can buy from them. You can also have it control a timing retard device when you program it to. It is really a flixible little unit. Call FJOs tech line if you have any questions. They really know their stuff. Good luck

That does come with the maximizer. It goes under your hood basically while the larger box goes inside the passenger compartment. The controller(larger) one basically tells the driver (smaller one)what to do. I would tell you more, but I haven't put mine on yet. I can't wait to see what I think of it.

Looks like we are finally gettting some real world knowledge of what this controller does. It has been out almost a year now, and this is the 1st I've read of someone actually using it and giving us details. Thanks.
