NOS progressive nitrous controller ??????????
Is it worth the money??? Lot's of people have said that they shorten soleniod life, which causes motor damage... I am planning on running a TNT 150 shot on a head and cam C5. Do I need one??????

The NOS progressive is the grandaddy of all the controllers out there now. It's really a nice piece. Whether or not you need it, depends on your tire/traction situation and if you want to ease the torque spike on your engine/drivetrain. Yes they are hard on noids, but if your willing to service noids annually and/or bi-annually then it may be for you. Dual staging is another option and has the added benifit of less noid strain. We do have a special going on an all new digital progressive controller if you choose this route (as another option).

I'm running the NX (FJO) Maximizer II progressive controller and highly recommend it. With this unit you'll need a lap top computer for programming. The Maximizer II gives you total control over activation to include delays, flow percentages and ramp rates. It's prudent to inspect solenoids on a regular basis anyway so I don't think the wear issue is a big deal. As Robert56 points out a dual stage system is another option. Dual or even triple stages is definitely the way to go on a big shot dedicated race car. However, on a dual use street/drag car the flexibility of a progressive system is superior.

I'm running the NOS setup but I have 2 N2O solenoids which both open at the same time but the one pulses open and closed to give you the control over how much N2O is sprayed into the motor which is why they say the solenoid will eventually fail. But if you have the second solenoid inline that is either fully open or closed it'll save your motor when the other one gets stuck open or however it fails.

What you are describing is "Series" arrangement of the Noids.

Running two n2o moids inline is normally refered to as redundant in the nitrous world.
This is usually a dry safety addition. However, I can see the benifit of only doing the nitrous side on a wet hit.
