we have the same last name! i also have a cousin with your name...pretty funny.
i'm pretty sure he has huge huge power under his hood. i wouldn't doubt his #'s, i've read some members are in the 400's, not sure if i've seen 500's yet but you never know.

UHHHHHH....... Yes his car really does have that much horsepower, I've seen it in real life, have the videos to prove his hp claim, and I have HIS turbo kit on my car... Have a nice day. You'll also notice both of our cars in my sig...

Ok, this is from the site:
HLH0501
1995 SE
Fully loaded
Stock Injectors - 240cc
Stock Motor - 10:1 comp
Stock Transmission - 5spd
Sliding behind the wheel of the the fastest Maxima, this insulated cocoon wraps you in black leather and invites you to keep your foot flat and stretch the legs of the 560hp engine. The engine is understressed with the turbo charger setup giving only 10psi of boost.
Top 1/4 Slicks
11.91 @ 117.39
Mardigras / Matt
1998 5spd SC N2O
12.18 @ 108.94 Jime 1997 Auto N2O

428.1whp + 379.3tq Mardigras / Matt 1998 5spd SC N2O
Are we to belive that these kind of power gains are the result of simply one turbo? I mean, thats additional 370HP!

Well yes you are... since he has the dyno slip to prove it.....
I cut and pasted this from www.howstuffworks.com :
The typical boost provided by a turbocharger is 6 to 8 pounds per square inch (psi). Since normal atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi at sea level, you can see that you are getting about 50 percent more air into the engine. Therefore, you would expect to get 50 percent more power. It's not perfectly efficient, so you might get a 30- to 40-percent improvement instead.
Ok....lets do a little math!
Based on 6 - 8 psi producing approx. 30 - 40 percent improvement --
4th gen hp at the crank (not sure the exact whp) = 190hp
approximate gain at 8 psi = 76hp
total = 266hp
Based on 10 psi boost (same as Hal's Turbo Maxima) --
4th gen hp at the crank (not sure the exact whp) = 190hp
approximate gain at 10 psi = 114hp
total = 304hp
The website also shows that Hal's Turbo Maxima has a MEVI and NX (nitrous). So that also plays a part in the 370hp increase, not just by the turbocharger alone.

yeah he shoots something like 75 or 100 shot. That car is insane. The video is insane too, that car is awesome. How do you know Hal?
It makes me wonna watch that video again, lol...
BTW why is he selling the car? Did he make a run with those slicks on and spraying out of the hole yet? Blown MEVI?

He's probably tired of beating everyone in the Maxima. Did you see the video where he spanked an 03" s/c Cobra? Perhaps Hal wants to start a new project car. Who knows.

I'm sure attaining the knowledge and skills came at a high price too. And he's pretty much used himself as a guinea pig and literally pushed a few engines til it blows to really get as close as possible to the VQ's maximum capabiliy. Now we don't have to do what he did, in a turbocharge application, to know what to do with our VQ's. I'd say the man is a pioneer!

Hal got skills, I could only imagine what he would do with his next car.
