When you pick it up, I'll swing by with a 24-pack so we can finally celebrate that this is over 
Plus ... I will have the DVD-Cam so we can take some nice high quality vids for everyone to see

Brad, this is GREAT news....A few questions...
1. So there is an option to use this kit WITH the catalytic converters? What about the use of aftermarket, Hi-flow variants like Random-tech cats?
2. Any chance we can get a pic of the piping that is used w/ the cats?
3. What did the street price of this kit finally turn out to be?
4. Any chance of opting out of the re-flash at some discounted price?
5. Can you talk a little more about the use of the RE-flash and its' ability to account for things like temperature changes, etc. I ask because here in VA, we have 100 degree summers, and 20 degree (or colder) winters. I'm concerned about this choice of EMS being able to account for such temperature differences. I'm assuming that timing retard is a part of this solution? Since there is no 'tuning' of this solution, how does it account for other mods like aftermarket intake/exhaust, etc.?
6. Have you considered including a shielded CAS wire with the kit? There is so much information coming forward now about noisy CAS signals being a factor in the many dead F/I motors out there, it would be great to have this as part of the package (and probably relatively simple for you all to mass produce as part of the kit).
Really excited to hear that this kit is so close to ready. Big thanks to MIAPLAYA for answering 43 pages of thread. I hope he's been well compensated!

1) The cat that we chose is an aftermarket hi-flow cat
2) I will post cat pipes pics as soon as i can get the marketing guys to shoot some...next week or so
3) MSRP is $5,595.00 no cat...due to the fact we sell through distribution we show MSRP only...the street is what it is.
4) Honestly there is no change in price, the actual time to re-flash is only about 10 minutes...We will be doing the tuner version with no fuel at all.
5) The re-flash cover sevral things, the factory correction and temp maps were retained, we only modified the fuel and ignition maps. therefore elevation and temp changes will react like it does now. other things we did play with...in the stock program near red line the throttle position is closed to 85%, we removed this function so 100% throttle position is maintained. Rev limted was raised from 6,200 rpm to 6,700 rpm and the speed limiter was set at 155mph was removed.
We have things set up with FedEx in a pre-packaged self addressed box to ship your ECU overnight to us for re-flash...this will happen the same day and be returned overnight and the cost is included in the systems price. we have designed a decal that the owner will fill out and place on the ECU to keep them properly identified.
6) CAS wire shielding is being looked into, it appeas there may be a service bulleten from Nissan regarding this issue and once i can confirm I will post it.
7) MAIPLAYA has been very patient and we appreciate that fact...do it right even it takes a little longer.
I hope this helps.

We have limited slip already, there are advantages to A Locking LSD however I don't know that it's going to do anything about wheel spin.
I'm not an expert on LSDs, I in fact want an LSD as well, but never thought of it handling wheel sping due to HP.
I wanted LSD more for control related issues. With my 400+ RWHP I haven't had as much control related issues as I expected, but I do know I'm going to have issues on track in cornering.
lemme know, what you know about LSD handling wheel spin.
Also, what DYNO would you recommend we meet up at?
thanks,
joe

Isn't there a couple shops in riverside?
I get down there occasionally for some clients and a couple family members, perhaps we could investigate that?
Also there is a couple tracks down there as well right? Perhaps we get on track as well?
