14.4 PSI = 1 Bar

So 16psi/14.4psi = 1.11 BAR

Yeah.. there was someone who ran a 14.2 stock with a 2k2 6spd. 14.4 is definatly attainable, still, you need to be a good driver though.

I have an intake on my Maxima, and I did a little better than that time.

Yes. Actually, in the singular tense as my times that day were anywhere from 14.1-14.3 dependent on how much heat soak I could avoid between runs.

Home of the Gatornationals

The track is under sea level, the times are all indicative of that.

The track has a very long history of quick times because of it, make note of the Gatornations reference, previous.

The conditions: Early spring, track temps in the high 50's, humidity around 30%, high barometer readings.

I believe the 1.8Ts are not considered a competition nor the VR6s...Jetta's are just slow period....unless boosted of course...

I own both. <-- homepage

The Max is the beast, and the best all around car to drive, but my 337 is fun as he11 to drive and it has tons of potential. Later this summer the 337 will get the chip, Intake, and boost controller, then we will see where it sits. If the wife dusts me then I will have to juice up the max and make sure the throne is maintained.

2k2_6spd has trapped at over a 100mph with his gab mod, and a powertech (and we all know they don't add any hp just sound). This was in Phoenix at about 1500 above sea level
