I have a 99 mph trap speed also

I have noticed the same thing about the Maximas,could it be that Maxima sold in different states could be slightly different? I just ran my 2002 6 spd at Ne England dragway last week. The track conditions were ****ty and the ttrack was damp,i couldnt get off the line for ****. But, i did manage a 14.6 at 99 the first run and a 14.7 at 98 the second run. I just had a Frankencar on at the time. I put the Unorthodox pulley on last week and noticed a huge gain in low end to mid range power. I think with perfect track conditions and a good driver my car will run a 14.2 or 14.3 with the intake. i would love to see it blow out a 14.1 with the UPP tomorrow night!

Just a question, no flames, no arguing, etc....

you chose your user name to be a car that doesn't exist?

I don't exactly think that the cars are different in different states... I would believe that the tracks are different. Such things like altitude above sea level, temperature, humidity, track surface, etc. Look at NHRA drag racing -- they're the same cars used all over the country and their times differ some from event to event.

Ditto.

Additionally, you obviously have some mods that's not in line with some others who've ran at the track.
