i just recently got the new stillen magazine and am seeing differences in the site and the mag. for one is this vq-pro, basically its a piggyback program that they say unlocks the hidden performance in our vehicle. it also comes with a bypass connector that restores your stock settings. what are ya'lls opinions. also they claim to have headers for the 04 max.

 

Definitely interested. That's something I need to look into!

 

I was talking to one of the engineers there and they are currently in the process of fabricating the headers for the 6th gen. He roughly said one month to me about 2 weeks ago. But then again he mentioned to me that there exhaust system (mufflers) produces 9whp.

 

LOL @ mufflers alone producing 9whp!!!

 

I suppose it could happen. The stillen exhaust is an axleback so It might remove that big crimp in the exhaust, but im not sure.

 

But that is not mufflers alone though.

 

I am interested in this VQ pro does anyone know when its coming out? and is it gfood to use a prgram like that or will it over stress the engine?

 

I guess it really depends on what exactly is holding the motor back from the ~300hp even of the Z's and G35's. Barring any major internal difference like cams and all internally or a major difference in intake/exhaust restriction, the maxima and altima should do well with a chip if our version is just detuned by the ecu in comparison. I havent researched that yet, but if that is the case, we might be one of the rare exceptions that actually get a worthwhile gain from a good re-program.

 

YEah but I stillen is holding this thing back for some reason. It was in their book now i dont see it anymore in the '05 book. I think that it would be a killer upgrade since its totally reversible it can be turned on and off. I would love to get it but i hope it wont cause any premature wear on engine parts

 

I gues i am th only guy who cares but I spoke to stillen today and they said they have scratched plans to release the VQ pro for the maxima. Oh well i guess we have to find something else.
