This thread read like an intense book.
I started reading it from page 1 yesterday morning and spent almost all day (on and off) reading through the ENTIRE thread.
Just finished and I am glad to see a happy ending. Car looks sick (not a fan of the wheels lol but everyone's got their own taste :thumbsup: ) and I am glad to see that everything was made right by those involved.
Thanks for sharing you build with us all

Yes it was, I can't believe that it didn't beat me out for best Nissan. The 240 with the 2J swap is for sale for $25K right now, seams like a steal for a fully built 2J AND a 600+whp 240 
. I wish the economy was a bit better or the winter was not a complete FAIL and I could consider this.

Finally got my shizz sorted out for the season. Not quite the max power I expected, but the car feels strong and the power is very smooth and most of all, SAFE. Tuned to keep traction more than anything else right now. I will run this for the summer and then see if any changes need to be made.
I also got some of the fun features hooked up on the ViPEC. I have flat shift on the meth map, launch control set at 5K rpm and anti-lag that I can turn on/off. The map is set with progressive boost in each gear to limit wheelspin, but no traction control yet. I'm running ~400whp on the pump map and just need to press the switch on the meth to turn it on and the map changes on the fly and I have another ~140whp instantly. The max number is where it is drivable at on the meth map, not a single pull for a nice number.
A while back a vacuum issue was fixed and that changed the power curve quite a bit, so the comparison dyno is not truly an apples to apples situation, just to show where it was and where it is now.
Any questions and/or input is welcomed. I hope to see several of you at the airstrip event and that will be the true test of how good or underpowered this tune is.

Rode in Cass' car yesterday when he brought it down to help me work on finishing up my lil project. The car feels great, and the meth map is really awesome with the progressive boost. We also managed to scare a few people in the Hershey area with the anti lag haha. Sounds like a shotgun going off...and I love it haha. Congrats tho Cass, the car feels really awesome now, deff going to be a beast. The biggest accomplishment with this current tune is that the car makes a max boost of 13.2 psi from watching the pulls. This is the true testiment of what a beast Cass has on his hands here.
