Hey Guys,

Couple quick things. Really the only thing that drastically changes between the CARB and non-CARB legality is that we have to run a few extra tests during our tuning time. Also, the maximum amount of boost that we can take the kit to and still get through CARB testing is below the safety limit for the stock motor. So even if we did want to put on a smaller pulley and crank out more power, we're starting to get into unsafe levels of boost anyways. If you wanted to build yourself an engine and go from there, having a custom cut pulley really should be no extra expense. Also, we are hoping to include a very nice surprise that will make those of you East coasters who don't need to worry about CARB happy.

Like I said, we wanted to have this kit out a month or two ago but unfortunately due to some other projects including SEMA show, the Targa Newfoundland Rally in the GT R and the introduction of the carbon ceramic brakes for the GT R, we had some delays.

Please keep in mind that this engine is unlike anything else on the market. Working with the dual throttle bodies and limited space (less space on the Z's and G's than on the 350's and G35's, the engineering is having to get pretty tricky. It's all coming along very well and we're optimistic that we'll have a release party soon! LOL.

Thank you very much for your patience and support! I promise you, you will not be disappointed when we release this. Would you rather us hurry up and rush out a crap product or make sure that everything is perfect before release?
