Fast/Rob,

Ordered mine today with the mini-max......only need to use it 4-5 times a year. what do think about the mini-max? rob I know you used it, but have now gone to the maximizer. With my usage and needs....I think this will be enough. I'm only going with a 50 shot for now

I love the Minimax, and your right it's perfect for your need.
It has the exactly what you need to safely use the n20

Start Power (how much power at initial WOT) adj 30-60%
Build Time / "Pulse time" (how long before going 100%) adj 2.0 -9.9 secs
Finish Power 100% of course

Although the Maximiser allows you to take power away at the end of the run,
(and I have used it on the stock block) I wont be using that feature anymore.
The proper use of n20 is to start off low, then progressively hit it harder as you get down the track, and the minimax will do exactly that.
Good choice

My original location was on the CAI Box, (that'll work well)
or FYI they do give you two small "but nice" brackets, in which I'm sure you can find a nice home for

got to tell you guys, i thought the race tested kit was just another kit.

i was wrong it is much nicer, its easy to install and performs much nicer the the "other" kits.

when you get a race tested kit you will need NOTHING else it has everything

the "other" kit i bought before the racetested was cheaper (untill i bought all the other stuff i needed to make it work )

Alright Lightninquick and Gator. I figured the MP nitrous combo issues were a non issue already. Your results confirm this.
It made no sense that a blower with lower discharge temps and much higher boost on the same pulley combo would not be a better performer. The nitrous issues were just baffling. I cant wait for the fall weather.

Re: Mag + n20
Maybe the Dyno's Sal performed that showed minimum increases had a reason for it, many people DO NOT know how to tune a n20 system, and as Sal and Denny will tell you, IT'S NOT DONE VIA THE CHIP OR COMPUTER TUNING. They could easily be isolated cases, all Sal did was report the results

I wish nothing more than You AND ME prove that wrong

EDIT
And for the record, NONE were Race Tested kits, hehehehee
