I'm sorry, I must have missed some prior discussion on this. Is this variable intake the only difference in the NZ's 220 HP vs. our 190 HP, or are there other factors?

14's don't need much Roadbeast

Can you tell me please ?
If you are able to ,then I will be able to do that too
Because I have many parts installed more than you

I was running 14's with CAI, Y-pipe, and Catback and 5-spd (of course)and that should get you in the high 14's and add like a high flow cat UDP, reprogrammed ECU, ACT clutch an aluminum flywheel, and STS helps but isn't necessary and you should easily be running in the low 14's and really close to high 13's. And if you have the intake manifold which obviously you do. You should easily run high 13's without NOS or supercharger. But that is assuming that the variable intake is the thing giving you the 30 more hp. But, still if your Maxima has 30 more hp stock...you should almost run in the high 14's stock.

Just my 2 cents

or you could just buy a y-pipe, intake, cat-back, get one year of drag racing every week and get a 14.2 like I did.

I can't wait to see how the VI works on the maxima.

So, just add a few more things and you would be like the first NA 4th gen maxima in the high 13's....I think I could get there with all the stuff I have the track that I would get my time slips at closed like 8 months ago...I wish I had a quarter mile track near me...
