Default seems slower on the FJO..........

okay i have raced my friends mr2 from a roll before and he never walked me as bad as he did tonight- i had good bottle psi (1050) and on a 75 shot but he walked me pretty hard this time....... and i have been getting beat here lately bye cars that i should be right with they pull a length or so- This has only happened since the FJO...... and these races are from a roll so its not the programming of the FJO........ any ideas guys- just changed my fuel filter and oil/oil filter............

could it be connection to the controller through the ground isnt that good there for not getting the full grounding- but i can hear the solenoids clicking on/off like they are supposed 2 on the progressive

but how big of a difference can going .01 to small on the nitrous jets make because i just check my jets and i was running N40/F22 instead of the N41/F22 for a 75 shot on an NX kit

how do you have the FJO programmed? If your running a small shot you should just go 100% on. Anything less than that and youll be slower

With a 75 shot and the FJO sounds like "to little to late" Up the shot size
and just try stopping at lower then 100%.

The controller is only needed if you are have a traction issue. If you have good tires and small shots you should not be having traction problems.
Set to 100%. Did you ever get your mutliplier figured out?

im uping to a 125 shot once i get full exhaust, ignition and fuel pump so then we will see

You're slower because of the progressive ramp.

You're using x8 multiplier on your 4.3l v6??? Maybe thats the problem? Im using the ÷3 multiplier, but then again signal is coming from the msd not the coil.

My 75 shot feels like nothing using my Maximizer II. That was with my single nozzle NX kit. Also, I noticed that my car seemed to pull stronger with my bottle at about 950-1000 psi using the Maximizer. I say this because I raced some kid's turbo car using a 200 shot and after each run my pressure dropped but the heater didn't have enough time to take it all the way back to 1050. By the third race, he stopped leaving me in the dust. I don't have numbers to back it up though.
