Need some people's opinion
 

Alright...I really want to get some serious power out of my Maxima...BUT I just don't have that much money right now. I know that of course the best mod out there is the Cattman headers...however they are $850, well the Nissan Works Phenolic Spacers kit seems like it would be good and along with a tune should yield some good hp gains. So my question is do you think I should just save up and wait for a long time for Cattman headers or just get the Spacers and an SAFC-2/VAFC-2 for cheaper and then down the road after saving up some money get the headers???

Buy a nitrous kit, they are what like 400-500 bucks, the stuff is dirt cheap!

If you can get on the NYCmaximas.org spacer group buy, it'll only be $200 shipped. With just spacers you don't need a piggyback or a tune.

I know that you don't need a piggyback...I'm just saying that the piggyback's usually have good gains and combined with the spacers I think it would be a good matchup for the headers for cheaper. Also on the nitrous...I would but I want my power to be there all the time.

I may sound really stupid but what do the spacers have to do with a tune ( i mean yeah tuning a car is great), the spacers just make the engine cooler why would you need to tune the a/f ratio after that?

i would and am saving up for the headers .. well worth the wait

Man, I thought you're getting another car.

I decided to keep the Maxima...oh and just to clarify...I KNOW THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TUNE WITH SPACERS!!! But an SAFC-2 has been proven to give about 8-10whp alone...and the spacers are around 10whp.

the shipping address must be a NY or NJ address

this is the route I was gonna take before my HS headers ----> cattman ypipe (7-10whp is better than nothing) and spacers. Thats around $600 right there and you can get good power. Those combined with a full catback exhuast should make you happy. But I got HS headers and I regret it..wish I had taken the other route I mentioned.

edit: Also a vafc2 couldnt hurt either esp. with the ypipe.

Why do you regret getting the HS headers???

I see you’re excelling in Intro To Ricer Math 101.

I’m sure there are MANY members that would GLADLY, in a heartbeat take those off your hands. Especially A34 people.

:jeffy: Then think elsewhere. You have to pay to play. Do whatever your wallet will allow.

Umm...actually maxspeed96ct gained 10whp with just an intake and an
SAFC-2 so I am not being ricerish...

That's my question...do you think I should save up or just pay the lighter amount and get some power now...
