Interesting results from first time at track...
It was my first time at the track and here are my four runs:
Run 1:
1994 Nissan Maxima GXE Automatic. Front tires at 32, rear at 44. Spare and jack removed. Full interior. Stock intake, stock exhaust, and some special tuning. :-D
R/T .966
60' 3.005
1/4 18.090
MPH 79.87
I spun the tires through first and into second gear, then the tires hooked up and so the tranny shifted back into first. What a nightmare.
Run 2:
Same as above but front tires at 25.
R/T 1.160
60' 2.407
1/4 16.611
MPH 81.30
Better traction, manual shifting.
Run 3:
Same as above but front tires at 22.
R/T .957
60' 2.358
1/4 16.379
MPH 82.59
Getting there.
Run 4:
Same as above.
R/T .727
60' 2.388
1/4 16.346
MPH 82.51
I was happy.
This was all at a track which is 492 feet above sea level with the temperatures in the 40's and the humidity not too bad.

yeah that does sound really quick and those traps are kinda low, my best is 16.224 @ 84...thats really good though for bone stock!
FFXmax is the only other "freak" VG auto I've seen, he ran 16.5's with just intake when we were at the track a few months ago! good times though!!

I don't have any mods to really speak of besides a courtesy FSTB, but here is what I did to attain these times:
1. Ignition timing is somewhere in the range of 15-20 degrees. I advanced it the ghetto way without a timing light. I use 93 Octane.
2. I adjusted the throttle cable today and there was a lot of slack in it. As a result, I believe I am now achieving true WOT.
3. Tires at 22 in front and 44 in back is a must.
4. Spare and jack were tossed.
5. During staging I had to spin the tires after the burn out box to get the water and rocks off my tires.
6. I launch in 1st gear (yes it's an auto) at around 1500-2000 RPM. When the lights do their thing, I floor it.
7. I put the tranny in power mode, but I shifted it manually.
8. After each run I propped open the hood and turned the car off. Pushing the car through the staging lanes is a good idea too.

Damn good times
You might want to get 2 extra 15in wheels and throw some 205/50-15s on them. That by itself should drop you to a solid 16.0-16.2s in the same conditions with no other mods. If you had a Y pipe and the same conditions chances are you could have broke 15's.
