PI Vigilante. Flashes to about 3000.

If mine would hook it, I'm confident it has 1.5 60's in it. A full 75 out of the hole is the limits of traction. Front end lifts and it hops rather violently. Thats the only reason I got the progressive controller.

Suspension limiters? If so, yeah I've considered them and even tried to find the parts to build some. Someone here posted up some he'd made

or

Run a 100 shot with 6.5#? (3.1 pulley)


I am leaning towards less boost and more nitrous because the engine will not have to overcome the pumping losses of the blower and suffer from IAT issues.
You probably will not feel the 75 shot especailly with a progressive conroller. Anytime working with nitrous you should start small and work your way up. But with a blower; you will probably not be happy at 6.5# while not on nitrous. So I would set it up with the 8.5# and bring the nitrous in. Depending on which progressive you got you maybe able to set up mild or wild on the ramps with only a flip of the switch. and be rpm or time based.

yeah, I posted up mine back in late September? They definitely made a big difference in my launch. No lifting, no torque steer, just straight out of the hole.....and yes, I agree with Trick's statement, as I have been telling you Jason.

Missed your thread. Found it and saved the pictures. The ones I remember were posted up by Ty.

I have a PI as well. Really tight and flashes to around 2500. It is supposed to be a 2600-2800. Do you launch off of idle?

Thanks Rick! I will probably start with a 50 and 8.5# and go from there.

I ordered a 2800. I usually launch off the converter. Brake stalled to 2500 or more.
