If its the large one you are looking at 25 amps.

which NX noid are you referring to as the "large" one w/ 25amp draw?
NITROUS SOLENOID, STAGE SIX (LARGE, .093 ORIFICE) -ICEMAN-
or
NITROUS SOLENOID, PRO-POWER (LARGE, .125 ORIFICE) -ICEMAN- P
Thanks!

I have the Crane on a 5177 around 100 shot, and am not happy with the power curve it produced in the progressive range... very lumpy and didn't pull much out of the initial torque spike. So, now I have a glorified adjustable window switch with all of the progressive control pulled out, i.e. start flow and full flow rpm nearly the same. I'm gonna add another stage since I have a spare window switch and relay/harness so just need another solenoid and some plumbing since the 5177 already has 2 jets. I'm interested to hear if anyone else has tried the Crane with success.

So far though you are the only one running a Crane unit. (that I've heard of) I'd like to get more feedback from users but ohwell.
A NOS Cheater n2o solenoid is good to 250 hp and only draws 10 amps. I'm thining about doing this (with another cheater in line before for precaution) Crappy nos noids!

Those two -3 lines might be acting as "resevours" for the nitrous to load up in, and you might not be getting the full effect of the progressive action. I read somewhere it was best to put the noid as close to the nossle as possible. I bet if you ran a single nossle setup on your car with no jets, and kept the distance from the noids to the nossle short, you would get a smooth progression.

Anyhow, my goal is to get the noid as close to the nossle as possible, so when it pulses the nitrous is dispersed just as fast as the noid is letting it. No jet or long line to build up pressure and hold the flow back.
