there's tons of them out there from nos, nx, etc cold fusion is about to release a very cool one too. Just depends on what you need and what your budget is.

That is a huge question with a ton of choices, ranging from a controller that will let you spray a different size shot for each gear (the NX controller) to a simple 1 step build up (like the HSW Advantage - that I am installing) to complete do everything units (which there are too many to list). Really you have a few "next" steps...
1. Decide what exactly you want to control and what equipment you already have (like window switch/WOT switch/fuel pressure switch/things I have forgotten) to help determine what you need.
2 Call some of the vendors and get some ideas exactly what their controllers can do and what is needed with them.
3 Ask advive on the forums after you have determined what your needs are.
Right now with what you are asking it's like going to a fastfood place saying you want something to eat to the person at the counter. More info is needed on what you already have and what you are looking for and if you really need one depending on size of the shot.
Good luck!

Well I have traction problems on motor. I want to run a wet 100 shot to start and i dont want to blow the tire loose. I want the max out of the n20, as of right know im not runnin any other controllers such as window switch. lookin to spend about 300.00 would like it to have built in window switch everything to make it safe and get the car down the track.

FJO MINI-PROGRESSIVE!!!

www.nitrodaves.com
206 bucks! You CAN NOT BEAT THIS CONTROLLER
This is MY stage 1 on my 03 cobra (6 speed)!...rpm based progressive, you can also do time based progressive!


With the FJO unit, you can do EVERYTHING you need.

Window Switch...chec
WOT...check
rpm based progressive...check
1st gear lockout...check
time based progressive...check
2 seperate stages, one can be time, one progressive, doesn't matter...check
"trigger" for frps....check

You can use the trigger for a BUNCH of different things. If you have a WBC that has nitrous outputs, you can use the "trigger" on the FJO to work with it, so that it only sprays in certain Air/Fuel ratios.

Like I said, you can NOT beat this, especailly for $206!!!!

Since ours is not available just yet, I'd say if I had to go with another the FJO looks like a good product, I can't see going with any others.

Your answer of having nothing helps quite a bit. You will need something like the NX/FJO controller or the Edge. I am sure there are more out there so others can chime in on their flavors, but for now these two choices will do for examples...

The FJO unit looks great and has a good following as well as all the features you would need. Price is also great, BUT it does need a laptop to make adjustments when at the track. Not a big deal if you are monitoring your runs or even running something like LS1Edit, but may enter into more $$$ if you need to get one just to use the FJO to its maximum.

The HSW Edge has all the features you are looking for and falls into the price range you set. The big plus is no computer needed, so it is adjustable at the track without a laptop.

Both units (and other complete units) can do what you want with ease and going with either unit will be cheaper then buying seperate items (TPS/Window switch/controller), so it comes down to wanting to have a laptop with you at the track or not. Again this may not even be a factor if you are already carrying one.
Hope this helps... I am sure others have even more info on other units.

PM me your email address and I'll email you the manual for the Edge. It'll give you a good idea of its capabilities. If you have any questions with it let me know.

Thanks,
Matt

You have a PM. No adapter is needed for the LSX platform for the window switch.

Thanks,
