Maximizer Questions... I'm gonna buy this bad boy in July when I'll FINALLY have money [to spend on my car] again! 
But I just wanted to know some stuff before I ordered... I plan on cleaning up my wiring and using an extra relay, so I don't want to end up doing too much work or wasting my money. Please be as detailed as possible, or, a manual might be even better!
I understand that this device has lots of stuff that it can do. Unfortunatelly NX's site isn't very thorough or detailed. As I understand it, the following features are built in: FPSS, RPM switch, TPS, shuts off when rich/lean, and of course, it's progressive.
1) What else is there? 2) What are ALL the signals that it needs? 3) What are its outputs? 4) Will I still need a relay for my fuel and nitrous solenoids? 5) What about fuses? 6) How does it do the whole rich/lean thing? Does it replace my O2 sensor like wideband?
thanks,
somebody

I would say there is no way that is the NEW Maximizer, the price looks like the old school one from years back. Sometime websites do not get update with the latest greatest data.

What does the new Maximizer do that the old one can't? Are there flaws with the old design? Will the new one work with the current FJO Wideband AND be able to hook up with FJO's wideband wiriing harness? Basically, all I need this sucker to do is spray 50% starting at 2500 RPMs, increase to 100% by 3000 RPMs, shut off at 6000 RPMs, shut off when I'm too rich/lean, and do the ignition retard. I don't even think I'm going to distinguish between gears... and I don't/won't have a PDA so I don't need that feature; just the ability to interface with my laptop.

I would suggest going to FJO's website and downloading the demo software so you can play with it first hand and get an idea of how much control this will give you.
You guys that have Maximizer questions....just go to the FJOracing.com website and take 10 minutes to DL the program. You will be able to run it through its paces. I can tell you the thing is amazing. Anyone that wants to go fast on juice and last should be running this thing. Even turbo guys should be running this thing. You can set it to cut the juice at a specific MAP pressure. How cool would that be to spool that damn big *** turbo and cut the juice off at the exact same boost level each time as the turbo takes over.
Anyways...go check it out.

You say new style...Is it the one that is listed on their site now with the new dual stage, controls, RPM ramp rate, built in MAP etc. Controlled via laptop, and not PDA??????
If so, do you still have it?
I can do the $495 shipped...I just want to verify that it is the LATEST MODEL, and not the single stage one. I can't find anybody that has the Latest dual stage model in stock.
