To the best of my knowledge, this is the ONLY aftermarket ECU upgrade currently available for 5th Gen Maximas. Results were impressive on a 4th Gen . . . +20 hp and +22 ft/lbs of torque at 5000 rpm.

I think I read about the piggyback that you had to take it by their shop in California, too, to calibrate/setup something. I could be wrong.

 

I checked out the Program's web site.... $700 bones for the unit plus 400-600 bones for install....

 

You have to take your Max to an Authorized Racer's Group shop to have the ECU installed. If you're interested, check with The Racer's Group for an authorized shop in your area. Among other things, the shop has to have a dyno so the ECU can be custom tuned for your specific vehicle. Which brings me to the next point.

The cost of the ECU isn't all that unreasonable. But it takes several dyno runs to custom-tune the ECU for your vehicle. That's where the extra cost is coming from.
