My current mods are: cut stock airbox with K&N panel UDP y-pipe MEVI JWT ECU 7000rpm rev-limiter 2k+ Maxima muffler My track (KCIR) isn't the quickest and it's the same one DemonSVT goes to. If I could get my 60 foots into the 2.1 range, I'd probably be looking at 14.1 or so, but I don't think it will happen unless I get drag tires though. There is a guy that got 13.6@101mph with the same mods as myself except he removed the seats and ran slicks (1.8 60'). The MEVI is awesome, but you MUST get the JWT ECU. The 7000rpm rev-limiter makes all the difference in the world. It allows you to achieve the ideal shift points. The ECU also restores the 10+HP and 10+TQ lost from 3000-4800rpms when using the MEVI. Y-pipes for the 95-01 Maxima typically gain around 12fwhp/15fwtq. It's probably the best bang for the buck mods out there. Your buddies 97 "should" be able to get 14.6@95mph with those mods. Dave

DaveB, I know you've frequented this board so you know that a 2.3 on this board is very good. Not many are in the 2.2 club. Guys on drag radials are in the 2.1 range. Sub 2.0 60s are out of the question IMHO. Someone prove me wrong please.

yeah i knew about nealocs times in the 13s all motor. i go on maxima.org quite frequently for not owning a maxima. yeah my friends maxima Should run high 14's but doubt he would since hes never been to the track and im pretty sure he needs a new knock sensor. sometimes i wish i waited and got the 4th gen maxima i originally planned on getting. but i couldnt pass up the deal i got on this car

watch out for those maximas, they take exceptionally well with mods, especially boost. currently, my friend with his 95 maxima is putting down 464 fwhp and 464 fwtq on 10 psi and 100 shot.  on a side note, hes on his 5th engine. LOL! 15.5 psi + 100 shot + being untuned will definetly cause some problems on a stock motor!

while we're on the maxima subject here.....i know a guy with a 93 v6 auto...body kit, park bench, 50 lb. rims, the whole nine yards. i have seen mixed opinions and mixed times on these on maxima boards and such....should i fear the beast or.......

SVT has a smaller motor for one, and second it has a broader powerband...flatter torque curve. They could have made significantly higher torque figures if the powerband was narrower just by manfold and camshaft changes.

Yeah, I understand that 2.3s are decent for the CSVT. You guys could easily get quicker 60', but your stock differentials don't agree.
A 2.3 60' like what I got on my 14.4, is pretty sad by Maxima standards. A good Maxima 60' on street tires is 2.20 and a great one is 2.10. The lowest I've ever gotten is a 2.21 60' on a 14.451@97mph in 85 degree weather. It's kind of funny because my best is a 14.451@99mph with the 2.31 60' in 50 degree weather  Now if I could have just pulled a 2.20 in 50-degree weather I'd have at least a 14.30.

Depends on wht model it is. Does it have an OEM spoiler, white gauges, and foglights? If so it's an SE with 190hp/tq If not, then it's a GXE with 160hp/180tq. No fear though, neither is quick, especially the GXE. With what you've listed, this guy will be dog so regardless if he has the SE or not. I'd say mid 16s if it's an SE (thanks to the heavy rims).

It's amazing how much a difference in torque .5 liters makes. Most 95-01 NA Maximas are making 185fwtq+. The 02+ are making 215+fwtq 
A flatter and broader powerband is definately a good thing. Most 95-99 Maximas aren't running the JDM variable intake manifold I've got. The US-spec manifold makes strong low to midrange power, but power drops off at 5400rpms. It still doesn't stop lots of these cars from running mid 14s@96mph and 96mph in the 1/4 isn't too shabby. Adding the variable intake manifold makes the powerband a lot broader (much like the CSVT), but it looses some of the mid-range punch. The ECU restores 80% of the mid-range and significantly helps out topend performance by extending the rev-limiter 500-700rpms. The manifold with ECU is good for around .3 and 3mph in the 1/4 mile. After 100mph it rediculous how hard the variable intake pulls on the US-spec intake. According to Cartest calculations, the difference is around 180 feet by 140mph. On the dyno (before the ECU), my variable intake manifold made a whopping 45fwhp over the US-spec manifold at 6500rpms. I gained 15-45fwhp with the manifold from 5600-6500rpms. We'll see what the ECU added here shortly.
Broader powerbands are always better than peaky and short powerbands. Area under the curve owns you.
