    *disclaimer* normally I don't do this. *disclaimer*

    My LX.

    10:30 pm, no traffic, on a highway w/ stop lights spaced out,

    04 or 05 Maxima SL (checked it out just now)
    Engine
    3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 engine
    265 hp @ 5,800 rpm
    255 lb-ft of torque @ 4,400 rpm S S
    5-speed automatic transmission with manual
    shift mode

    This is what the '04 ran in Motor Trend Magazine:
    3.5 L, V-6, 6 speed Manual
    0-60 6.30 sec.
    1/4 Mile14.77 sec.

    -weighs around 500 lbs more than me I bet. (don't know the weight o' me car)

    I'm casually driving home minding my own business. Notice the Nissan stomps it when we leave a light (kid driving Mom's new car I'm sure). I'm all casual but figure I'll be his huckleberry, I take it easy through the gears, never lay rubber, didn't even hit full boost in 2nd. Put about 3 car lengths on him in third, let him pull up again when I shifted to fourth, we're dead even, I put another 3 car lengths on him.

    So...that's 20 lbs boost. Gonna put the stiffer spring in tonite and bump it up a couple more.

    Do a few other things when I get back from the SVO reunion and dyno.

    Hoping (wringing hands really) it'll break 300 easy & the nitrous will give me @ 400. :nice:

    Irresponsible jerk kids these days.

    It's people like you that make it unsafe for our children to drive and give the teenagers a bad rep. for it!


    ...It makes me smile...

    um, everything it seems like. Here's a pic Cro took of it last time he was here.

    I've got a big TB to install w/ a different upper intake yet, but otherwise pretty well done. It's set up for autox/opentrack/street rather than the dragstrip - but it still gets it done. :D

    Now the 64 dollar question is:
