If any of you have questions on the wiring or how certain things were done, just send me a PM. I designed the board, and wired most of it out of the car. Once I completed all of the board wiring, we installed it into the car. Every wire for the entire car has a terminal on one of those terminal strips. To things are alot easier to trace down the road if there is an issue. Is it bad that even looking at the pictures I can still remember what wires are what? 
The 6 panel relay bank came from Painless, with the wire. The 4 MINI relay kit is for the turn signals, hazards if used and brake lights. The 7 circuit fuse panel also came from Painless with some wire. All of the terminal strips came from Waytek Wire, as did most everything else.
Things you can't see are the harnesses for everything. There is one large harness that Mike ran along the innerfender that feeds the fan, water pump, standalone pump, headlights and turn signals. I created another harness that runs into the engine bay right behind the intake for the nitrous. So every solenoid has its own metri-pak connector(for easy removal at track at needed). So all the nitrous wiring is hidden underneath the intake and behind it.

I'll definitely shoot ya a PM when I am ready to get started.
I am thinking about doing it a little easier, since I have no intent of ever driving the car, the turn signals, hazard lights and backup lights will not be needed.
I am going to wire the car so that the running lights come on when the IGN. is on, so that way they're on, the reverse lights, one will come on with 1 stage, 2nd will come on with the 2nd stage so the guy lining me up knows everything's working as it should be.
Break lights I want to work, and when I turn the headlights on, I want the foglights and tail lights to come on, just so I have what's needed for some classes, transam headlight covers will be mounted in place with nothing behind them.
Everything else you did is pretty much what I want to do. Standalone pump comes on when nitrous systems master arm is hit, then a seperate arm for kit #1 and kit #2, seperate circuit for fan, one for water pump, one for tranny cooler fan, one for bottle heater, start button, one for guage power, one for fuel pump... that's all that I think I need.
Seems like alot, but I don't think it's gonna be that bad. I was going to ground everything locally (near that specific device) so that there's less wires all over too, that should work I think. What ga. wire did you use on everything? I was thinking for the lights and small stuff use 18, the stuff like the fans, fuel pumps, water pump, nitrous systems to use 14. Sound about right?

I've actually had some people PM about making this board for others to put into their car. I most certainly can and wil make a board, complete as you see it in the pictures. I can also provide wires from the board to run out to your respective item(lights, turns, pumps etc) Basically everything that is needed to wire the car.
If there is interest, PM me and I'll see what I can do.
