Yes, if I could please.
I am not worshiping him. I just have not seen a video clip displaying the performance of a 4th gen with a SC installed. Aren't things like this what the forums are for? I have F/I, just not on my max. I was just curious to see how the Max performs forced fed.

This thing should run 0-60 somewhere around 5 sec. give or take. It just got done last night so I'm still fine tuning. but I running a vortech V2 s-trim with the stillen v-2 plate, custom 3" piping set up, 3.33 pulley (approx. 8.5-9 psi), 8:1 fmu, 255 walbro, greddy type rs bov.
It does whine a little not too loud but you can hear it. I'm still getting use to it. But it is great so far. You can't really feel any difference until about 3500 rpms or so then the boost hits and pulls HARD!!!! to redline.
install was done by someone else but I was there for most of it and it did not seem that hard but you would need to just take your time.
so for now I think I'm done moding my car.
Here's what I have........
1997 se rosewood outside
black leather w/ wood trim inside FULLY loaded ++++
q45/13" cobra BBK w/ ss lines (I do have set of new (used 5 days) 1993 300zxtt calipers and pads for sale $200+shipping save $100 from what I paid. I changed to the Q45 because of a clearance issue)
vortech V2 supercharger
stillen body kit
18"X 8"wheels
235/40/18 kumhos
eibach prokit
stillen front and rear STB
stillen rear sway bar
phantom 2 boost and fuel mix gauges
stillen exhaust
etc.........
BTW I now have 2 new axels installed!!!
So if you guys see a rosewood maxima with the "SUPERCHARGED SPEC-R" emblem on it you will know it's me and the emblems are not just for looks.

I use 0-60 and 1/4 mile to judge. It is actually good to look at both. Quarter mile shows more mid-top end versus 0-60 showing traction and across the band in my opinion.
Isn't it quite common if you are involving yourself in illegal road activities to take off like a bat and shut it down around 50-70? I try not to haul as much *** as possible for a quarter mile in Athens and Alpharetta

0-60mph gives you a look at low end and acceleration
...people confuse these two alot
and well 1/4 is pretty self explanatory

Congrats on the boost. Maintain it well, and keep and eye on your belts. Hope you have some spare ones at home or better yet in the car already just incase.

However, I will be going beyond a 3.25 pulley and will be tuning/investing in tuning tools.

I was going to go the 3.5 route but after all that was going on with those swaps..stuff not going right, having to keep 4th gen ecu not getting the most out of it with out getting waay involved..I decided to go de-k swap, and have been toying around with the idea of s/c'ing. dunno if it will ever happen but from what ive gathered it doesnt really cost much more than 2g's to go one of the cheaper routes..its fun to think about! oh and can you hear the bov when you shift like a t/c'er? what does it feel like? all that extra power? like once the boost kicks in? I have riddin in a s/c'ed 03' gt and that was sicka fast! and loud too! is the max a lot louder?

You still running the stock injectors? Please post a thread w/ pics in the supercharged/turbocharged section!! Congrats on the boost.
I got the supercharger and plate from him then I added new fuel managment and piping I'm not running an intercooler and he was so if you have rode with him then you know how fast it is. I havn't donated
so I can't post pics on here but I will if someone will host or everyone will have to wait until my funds recover. and yes I'm still using the stock injectors with an 8:1 vortech fmu and 255 walbro if I was using anything smaller than the 3.25" pulley I would have changed the injectors and mass air.

Ive also read good things about the Vortech SFMU, you should be able to gain some by tuning with it.
Its not untill you start making more boost where you need to start really tuning, you will be needing bigger injectors by then.
