A buddy of mine just got a '05 maxima 6sp and plans on putting 55 dry shot and intake on it for now.

What would he run in 1/4 mi and what would his traps be?

Thanks

OP

 

i think stock 05' 6spds do like low 14's....maybe a good driver can break 13's??/ im not positive tho

 

what would 55 shot and intake give to that car? mid-low 13s? anyone's actually done something like that?

 

he should be into the 13s with a good driver...his trap speed should be like 100 something?

not too sure on 6th gen times...but I read that 6th gens are pretty much like 5.5 gens...well I hear the 5at is quicker than the 4at in the 5.5 gen....but the 6spd is still the same?

 

sounds good to me It's gonna be a good run

 

i hear that for every 10hp increased you should expect .1s off the ET. so take a stock time, then take .55s off.

 

I know that myself, but I wasn't aware of what the stock times and traps are for 6th gen.

 

Why not just go to the track and find out?

There are toooooooo many factors.

I'd put both my Maximas and my retirement that an A34(04+) Maxima will not break mid 14's in my neck of the woods.

 

Thing is that he doesn't have a chance against my car from a dig unless he get slicks, so I was thinking of running him on a closed course from a roll.

 

This is true. Il admit that I suck at launching the 6th gen, its just tough. Its either wheelspin city or it bogs like a B!tch. I have ran a 14.3 stock with my 6 speed but it was a PERFECT weather day and a mysterious wonder launch that yielded a 2.0 60ft.

 

Maximas have some nice power, but a b*tch to launch since it's FWD, hence we'll be doing it from a roll.

 

Stock, best case scenario is probably 14.2ish with trap around 98mph. Add a 55shot and maybe looking at 13.6ish at 102 would be my bet. This is assuming he's a really good driver and at a good track on a good day, etc.

 

i have 2004 5 speed auto stock i did 14.9 i put intake and 75 shot wet i will test it on this week i let u know

 

You sure he wouldn't be trapping higher than 102? I'd think somewhere in 104-105 area?

Not a chance from a roll with those traps...

That would be great

 

I'm not sure of anything, that's why I put things like -ish and "around" in my post. I don't see a simple 55shot adding more than 4 or 5mph to a 98mph trap though, especially if he's a new drag racer not used to how nitrous activates during mid-launch if he's using a typical 3000rpm activation point. I could see 104ish maybe but it wouldn't surprise me if it were lower. My comment about good driver at a good track was mostly with regard to the stock time, not so much the nitrous time since nitrous times tend to vary so wildly.

 

i would say a 102 trap would be accurate based on his experience and only a 55 shot. it could be a tad higher once he got the hang of it.

 

Stock: 14.3@97
55 shot: 14.3@103

 

He actually is not new to drag racing. He's pretty damn good at launching his car and used to have nitrous kit on his old car, so I think he knows what he's doing.

 

I always thought that 6spd 6th gens ran around high 14s stock (14.7s).

 

There is NO STOCK `05 Maxima running in the 13`s ! no way

05 Maxima mid to low 14`s at best ! stock
with a 55 shot , you got 13`s !

 

Cool hopefully he will pull some good times out of it then.

 

I hope so too. He's a good friend of mine, but I don't think he posts here, so I'll have to post his results once we go to the track this spring

 

but it sure as hell looks nice

 

WAT?!?!?!?

 

I may not have a 04 maxima but ill take you up on your bet in my 97. I think he'll probably run a high 13 though.

 

Low 14's high 13's, my guess ! have no idea really, its a fwd, will need some practice at the strip and will need to see how traction is off the line with 55 more hp. if you hook up good then great, if not you will have to go with a sticker tire to put power to ground.

 

Would it be worth it to buy some BFG radials for the stock 18s. Theres a track event soon and even though im not putting down serious power, I figured I could benefit from them some because im on 19s.

 

i dont see why not ? neal could answer your question much better, the best thing to do is to see whats the smallest rim size you can use, and use a smaller wheel upfront, then stick a drag radial on it. you should be able to launch a bit higher and sprint off the line faster because of more traction. but most guys say you can expect a .1 faster 60 with DR's and well with slicks, something sick and cool !

 

... ...

No stock A32/33/33B/34 will ever be a stock 13 second car @ 7400' elevation........that was my point.

 

plus the temperature, might be high and hot on raceday.

 

More likely to be cold up here.

 

i guess that wasnt you, was thinkin that i remembered a track day you talked about being 100*.

 

I've never been to the track.

 

i wonder if someone broke 13s stock?

 

i really wouldnt be TOO surprised. if someone was a really good driver and really willing to own the clutch on the launch it may be done. i would def want to be there to see it though.

 

2004 se auto intake + 75 shot wet i did 14.01 1/4

 

i ran a 14.4 at 96 something without the back seats. temp guage read 46 degrees F. didn't spin at all.

stock 04-05 maxima's WILL run mid to low 14's. just how good is your reaction time???

 

you bite lol. i did a 14 flat with a 60 shot auto and 190hp back then, you have to work on your traction.

 

but my worst RT yielded my best 1/4 I take it you mean who will finish first, not fastest??

 

I know magazine times vary, but I haven't seen a 6th gen do better than 14.6 1/4 and 0-60 of 6.4. 5.5 Gens were 6.0 0-60 and 14.3 1/4 mile. Both 6 speeds. But like everyone says the track is your only true test........
