`01 Maxima performance mod ideas?
Hey,aside from my moonroof question, what would anyone recommend to increase the horsepower/performance of my `01? It's a 5spd, GXE, with a K&N...that's about it so far. I'd LOVE to boost it up another 50hp, (increasing the stock 222) and increase the torque, but I don't want to spend thousands of dollars in doing so. (Well, maybe a few.) What would be a good way to get started? Chip upgrades? Cold air intake or exhaust? I figure posting on this forum, I'm tapping into a lot of knowledge.

Another 50hp? Don't want to spend thousands? Buy shots.

Sorry `bout that. Didn't know I was in the wrong forum. BTW, Arnold K., what do you mean by "buy shots"?

"buy shots" - Nitrous
You can run a 35 or 50 shot of nitrous pretty much without changing anything else.
I would definitely recommend a Y-Pipe first.

No need to look...they're made right here in Tucson, so you'll just have to pay tax, but not shipping.

Check out www.Cattman.com.
