Anyone running this on a efi setup? What are the pros and cons of this device? Would the mod 6 box allow me to not spray on the 2step but spray as soon as I let off the clutch? If not how is this achieved through a progressive controller or what? Thanks! Teksid stroker nitrous build should be done by July!

You can use a signal wire from the clutch pedal switch to trigger a relay so that it wont spray when you have the clutch pedal in. As soon as you let off the clutch, the relay closes and completes the circuit for the nitrous system.

This would allow normal use of a 2-step since you'd have the clutch depressed and the nitrous system is offline.

The MSD-6 allows you full control of the ignition timing of the engine. The only real advantages I personally believe it has over the stock ECU is the ability to control timing against a MAP curve and the 2-step option.

It was just a thought I came up with on a whim. I could probably draw it out in paint if you'd like. You'd basically run a lead off of the clutch pedal switch into the 86 or 85 pin of the relay and run a ground wire from the other (85 or 86, whichever you didn't use). You'd run the 12v power lead from the battery for your nitrous into pin 30 and then you'd run a wire from pin 87a to whatever switch setup you're using to turn your nitrous on/off. I think the mod 6 uses a 12v trigger for the 2-step also, so you'd just wire pin 87 into the mod 6 for the 2-step.

When the clutch is depressed the 2-step is energized and the nitrous is de-energized.. When the clutch is released, the 2-step de-energizes and the nitrous energizes. This allows you to use both functions on the same relay.

I can draw out a wiring diagram, but I need to know what switches/fail-safes you're using in your nitrous system as well.

If you're running efi there are many better options available to you. The only plus is the ability to adjust timing, two step and rev limits. Most of what the MSD unit does can be handled by the stock ecu. I'm running it on a carb set up and will be ditching it shortly for a distributor and crank trigger set up.
