Default TRex / big shot, progressive ramp..

In an effort to keep the stock bottom end together for a bit (yes, I know it will break soon enough, I don't care), I am using the fjo controller on the bigger hits. The car is a bolt on, trex set up and I am looking at fairly commonly a 150 hit and occassionally a 200 hit. I probably don't really need the progressive on the 150 as long as I start the spray a bit late, but in any case how quickly would everyone recommend ramping (via rpm) the nitrous for the 150 and 200 hit? Start at 3000 and full spray by 5500ish?

The sooner you can ramp it up the better times you will run. 3/4 of the race is in the 60 foot. If you can hit a 100 percent out of the hole even better.

No argument, but the stock bottom end is the iffy part on that.

I am planning setting the nitrous up so it comes on in 2nd gear. My car will only go so fast @ the 60' mark so more nitrous only beats on the parts. My goal is to use as little nitrous as possible to get 1.38-1.42 60'.
