As far as strees on parts, people have been using single shots in the 150hp range for years without a particular problem. This would leave the issue of traction/launching. Of course, YMMV depending on your setup. But assuming we are talking about strip use with sticky tires it is probalby not worth the bother to do a two stage setup. Again, YMMV. If you are trying to launch on street tires, for example, then a dual stage might be very useful.

Yeah Dirk I know about the 3.06 first but what I was trying to say was it maybe easier to hookup a 2.52 1st and 3.42 than the lower 1st of a 4l60e. Rich I plan on spraying 200-250 depending on how far I want or need to push the car to beat a few fast street cars around here. I like the idea of being able to leave on a 125shot then dump the other stage in the 60' once the car is moving. I always run ET streets and would like to be able to run 1.4 60's

Makes sense.

Thanks Rich, always a pleasure to hear you explain things. I agree for the most part, I simply wanted to know why YOU felt that way too. I myself will be going with the NXL LT1 kit as soon as it is released from NX. I have been on 3 waiting lists for months. Planning on about a 200 shot if all goes as planned.
