Default Not as good as i hoped?

ok so i have a 5177 N.O.S. dry kit and a Fjo mini pregressive.

My father and I did a custom install so i only have one nozzle. i have the jets that are for a 100 shot the normal install way...

we have it set thru a trigger switch so we can run a 0-50 shot when the switch is off nd a 50-100 shot when the switch is on...

my father and I just got back from a test run and she didnt feel any different for the 0-50 shot,and the 50-100 shot we could barly feel it...

is this because she is only spraying a 50 shot due to the one nozzle insted of two? and if so what would be the correct nozzle size for a single nozzle 100 shot?

how are you determining that it is a 50 shot or 100? Do you actually have two stages...or do you have it so its running at 50%?

If its 50% progressively...that wont generally equal actual 50% in HP. You need to be on a dyno to get an accurate reading of what setting will need to be entered to make 50% power.

i know it wont be exactly 50 when its set at 50% but its a guess, and no i just have the "stages" set up so when i have my switch off i have stage one 0%-50% and with the switch on its 50%-100%

ok....to really get it close to the desired power level your gonna have to use a dyno. I am thinking that more like 30% is gonna be closer to actual half power....but again its tough to say and depends on alot of things.

So just play with the % until it feels the way you want it and would be useful...like one stage that will work for poor traction and the other the whole 100. You should really be able to effectivly judge that with the old SOTPM.
