more horsepower

Ok I decided I don't want a SC or a turbo. What can I do to make more horsepower as a NA engine. I already have cat-back and CAI. I am getting y-pipe soon.

What were your gains with your current mods? Have you dynoed or tried your 1/4 mile time? How does it sound and is the power gain noticeable?

Sorry for all the questions. I am looking into getting these mods and would like an opinion.

B-pipe and muffler will give you a couple, but they should be done after y-pipe... Also beware, replacing the stock muffler with an aftermarket one can make things loud with a y-pipe...

I can't get a SC because I have an auto. So nothing else besides a pulley.

Well your going to have to give the tranny a Level 10 urgrade anyway to us the S/C, well if you want to be different you could hahave your engine blue printed and balanced, then you could bore it out a bit to bring the displacement up and then get a chip, a full exhaust system, some NOS*, .... but now you can't legaly drive on a public road way.

Go with the supercharger

Most normal aspirated mods available for the Maxima increase noise levels and/or are illegal(y-pipe). The supercharger is in my opinion the best way to get significant horsepower and maintain factory noise levels while remaining legal.
