however, you might want to change your sig quote. Just because someone doesn't post on the .org, don't assume that someone on this planet doesn't have an all motor sub 14 maxima.

Yeah I've thought about that too. My sig changes often enough that I'm sure it won't say that for long. My thinking is that this board probably comprises most of the maxima enthusiasts in the USA, and its likely that if someone had done it before, they would be on this site, but not for sure. I know I certainly wouldn't know nearly as much about the performance of the car if I wasn't a member here.

Jason--- yeah right

K pazzo yeah I remember ya. I have to work next weekend so I won't be able to make it. Sometime this fall I plan on coming out to byron, all the chicago locals should setup a day to head out there.

dumping a STOCK clutch at redline won't hurt anything except the clutch....the weakest link in our stock driveline is the clutch...therefore if anything is going to give on his car...it will be the clutch....now if he had an ACT....thats a different story...

On a 2000 Max, when we dumped the entire exhaust after the cat, the car made a whopping 2 more peak whp.

All the more reason to support the notion that the 5th gen muffler is a good mod option for the 4th gens

Details of my car are

MEVI set at 4600rpm
JWT POP
Cattman SS Y pipe
WSP Test Pipe
CF hood which sticks up in one corner and creates a nice drag effect
15" Mazda Millenia wheels with 6/26-15 M&H slicks.

Passenger seat, rear bench, spare and jack removed.
Raise that MEVI to 5000RPM and you'll be in the 13's.

Like I told everyone else, I did 16 Dyno runs, most of those when I was NA, testing at every 200RPM. 5000 was the best by far. For some reason, at any other RPM, the turbulence from the flaps opening causes a huge dip in hp an tq for about 1 second.

At 5000, there is a dip, but it's not nearly as bad. I tested this twice, just to make sure it wasn't a fluke.

That should give you the .1 second you need.

I made my runs this week with it set at 5000rpm and it does feel stronger, and the changeover is fluid, i can't feel it, which leads me to believe i am switching at the point where the HP ratings are equal, which is ideal.
