This has probably been talked about before. I see them for a lot of other cars and they are good for like 10 or 15 horsepower, it seems like one would be made for our cars. just a thought.

I never really thought about it, but that is a good idea. With an intake feeding it lots of air, that could be a really good addition to the Max. Also, they're usually not that expensive.

usually tb's don't help unless you get the manifold ported to match the tb. That becomes very expensive. You're better off getting an extrude hone on your manifold.

Because the Maxima TB is already something like 65mm... did you know that the Mustang GT is about the same size? In other words, our's is already pretty much oversized as it is.
