Yes, concurrence on that, beware of Jacobs, lots of hot air. There is a
GURU developing electronic components for racing at Schnitz racing, which is
largely a motorcycle performance industry leader, but much of his new magic
boxes can be used on anything, like the Schnitz progressive nitrous/ignition
controllers, they are truly impressive, thought about having Jon have the
"guru" on the chat for discussion.
They have nitrous progressive controllers, or ignition/nitrous controllers,
drag racers used to require 5-6 different little black boxes, and integrate
them together, alot of wiring, and alot of space needed, and alot of phone
calls to different companies to figure out difficulties, they have boxes
with everything in one little box about 4" by 4" 1" thick, that progressively
brings in the nitrous as YOU program it to, ramps the ignition curve normally
aspirated as you program it, then progressively retards the ignition as you
program it while the nitrous is being brought up, with auto shifter
functions, rev limiters, digital outputs for recorders, multi progressive
stages if needed (can run 2 progressive systems from same box, no extra
charge), and more!!!!, the ignition component is 30% stronger than the best
MSD had for bikes, and the progressive nitous controller is so damn good that
NOS themselves got in on the action and actually paint it black with there
name on it and market it with there other progressive controllers (which did
not work for me), everything about the box is, top notch, the housing is CNC
machined billet aluminum, no relays and junk, and when I needed slight
alterations to the programming for my desires, I just send the "chip" to them
and he can reprogram accordingly!!! Much digitally programmable by you, no
modules and rpm chips and such to buy.
You can see some info by going to
