Although it has yet to be proven on a track, I think that its just amazing that a N/A max could run a mid 13 second 1/4 mile time when there are max's who are running a supercharger with a smaller pulley PLUS nitrous and are only getting low 13's.

Damn that's fast for FWD cars. Whoever said that FWD car's can't compete with the RWD setups (dollar for dollar) is nucking futs man. They've never driven a Nissan. I sooooooooooooo can't wait to start my mods!

I just got off the phone with Ben at JWT. I ordered my ECU 
I wussed out though, I only did the 7000rpm fuel-cut. After a long winded talk with Ben and a lab tech, I became convinced that the 7000rpm fuel-cut would be more ideal for me. Apparently when beta testing the first 4th gen ECU, valve float would start to occur shortly after 7000rpms. While valve-float is not a terrible thing, it can wear out the valve-train over time and it's just not something I'm willing to risk. Ben also told me that JWT would have to give me a disclaimer that the 7200-rpm fuel was out of the limits of the stock valve train and that they wouldn't be responsible for damage. It would be nice to go that 0.05-.1 faster with a the 7200-limiter, but this is my daily driver. My Z28 would float the valves at 6000rpms and it felt much like what the USIM 4th gen feels like at 6000+, winded, no acceleration, and lots of noise.
The ECU is $595 shipped back to me with a 2 week turnaround assuming I get it to them this week.

Just set the shift light for 6700rpm and hope it doesn't go over the 6900rpm. I killed my VG via valve float. Stock valve springs + 6300rpm for more than 30 seconds = damage. The car lost power and when I let off the gas I heard a rattling sound and the engine died. I pulled the heads and found all the valves were bent and the #2 exhaust valve broke in half as did the rocker arm. There is a nice hole in the #2 piston too

Could you run the Cartest with the 7000rpms limiter.....please

Na, you'll be fine with the order. When I orginally asked for the 7200-rpm limiter he just said they'd have to do a disclaimer.
