Going to track for first time in Max.

Hello guys, Me and a couple of my friends are going to go to a 1/8 mile drag strip this weekend. I raced there before when I had my Altima but didnt do so well. Now im hoping to turn some heads in my Maxima. The mods I have on now are: Frankencar intake, and Cattman y-pipe. What kind of times should I expect when I make my first pass? Also is it a wise thing to drag the Maxima? I auto by the way Thanks in advance guys!

15.5 at 91 mph. Weather plays a big factor, if its nice 45 degrees 40% humidity, track is hooking you will put up nice healthy #'s. If not, you might get high 15's. Just make sure to braketorque to 1500 rpms, don't come up off brake or floor it too quickly otherwise you will spin, just ease on the throttle. Good luck.

Yeah 15.5 in the 1/8 would be terrible, but I would take the 91 mph 1/8 trap speed in a second,

You will get low 10's at low 70's bro. Good luck.
