where to set progressive controller? We tried our system and even on the 100 shot (which was really 130 with the NANO) the car made over 500 to the wheels and blew the tires off pretty violently. NA our C5 will 60' 1.50 (370 rwhp) with NO suspension mods on drag radials. Put a NOS mini progressive controller on to take the initial hit away. I'm not sure where even to start with setting it. I know it will take time at the track to see what will work best but what is a good initial recommendation? Just running through the controls to ensure that everything was working I delayed the nitrous 1 second, had it come on at 40%, and delayed it another 0.5 seconds until it was at 100%. Single stage wet plate system. Also have it turning on at 3500 (Yank SS4000) and turning off at 6000 as to not spray though the shifts (stock 4L60E for the time being).
Anyone else running a similar set-up to tell me how to set it up to get going and then adjust from there?

On a 100 shot I would do only a .1 delay and a .3 ramp starting at 50%. If it stills breaks loose add .2 seconds at a time to the ramp. If it doesn't break loose remove the .1 delay. After that increase the ramp start point 10-20% at a time until it wont hook. The advantage of nitrous is the instant torque to get the car moving! Just my experience from my progressive although running a much bigger shot on a 3800 pound car.
Good advise^. Take the delay out,put the starting percentage at 30% over 1 second. As said above you will start working the starting percentage up and the time down until you find the sweet spot. What tire pressure were you running when it was spinning?

We run 295/50/16 Hoosier DOT drag radials and that day we had 21 in them on a marginal (ok, more like terrible) track. Too much air pressure? In the past, when we raced on a nicer track and had our best 60' NA (1.50) 20.5 was what we were running.
