Altima, Maxima, G35 sedan and coupe, Pathfiinder, 350z. now i would like to see a 5.6 liter in a max that would rule but i dont think itl fit maybee if converted to rwd.

Just a reminder - the title of this thread was BASIC mods to reach 300hp.
I don't see any basic mods being offered yet by anyone on this thread.
If you want over 300 hp, save your money you would have burnt on mods, sell the max and buy a used M3 that will hit 333hp stock and pin you to your seat.

I think a good intake is good for 5-10 horses.The y-pipe is good for 10-15 horses and I think a good exhaust system is good for 15 horses. Also, a godo exhaust system is lighterweight. Have you seen the size of those giant mufflers we have back there. If you take the LOWER range of my estimates, 5+10+15, you have 30 horses + 265 stock horses = 295 horses. Add the UDP of 1-5 horses and . . .hmmmmm, thats about 300 to me baby!!!

It simply doesn't add up like that. And none of these cars get anything close to 10-15hp with an exhaust. It's more like 3-5 on a good day.

Actually, if I listened to claims, my estimates would be much higher!!! Most companies brag that air intakes are 12-15 horses and UDP are 5-10 horses, etc. Glude and SR20, you both claim that my esitmates are incorrect, citing lack of prrof. I could say the same about ur "claims" - NO PROOF!! Even if people produced dyno runs for each mod, we all know dynos can be fudged with. I guess the upshot is, none of us, you guys, or me or anyone has no concrete scientific proof of hp gains from mods.

Ive been around these forums and numerous other Vq35 forums to know our cars do not gain that type of power off each mod.
I for one have every performance mod ramberg has and from when my car was stock, never punched or launched the way it does now, people at the meets and shows agree because they where their and watched the performance with there own eyes against their rides or up against other dudes who brought stock six gens, No freakin way I am getting such punch by an extra 10-15 hp.
Time for you to put up of shut up...

There is mountains of proof in the dyno forums. I have dozens of dyno runs on file for different Maximas. If you choose to remain ignorant of all the data that has been posted here over the years there is no reason for me to waste my time trying to convince you otherwise.

If you guys want to see hp gains with all the common mods like intake, exhaust, y-pipe. Do them first and then look into CAMS and reprogramming the ecu. With ever car no matter what make or model this is the order they usually go in because then all the mods work together. NOS will just burn your tranny if automatic. And its cheap HP.... You buy an farely expensive car and then gettofy it, it just doesn't make sense. Especially the people who do not know what their doing, you dont just slap a bottle on and ride out. You need to make sure the extra spark is their also the extra fuel coming into the engine. It bothers me when people just bolt up bull crap to the engines to make it go fast. Well I not meaning to down anyone who want nitrous just be careful things so cheap end up being very expensive down the road...

And for the 2374623746235478235th 
N.O.S. is the name a COMPANY it isn't a product. The name of the product is Nitrous Oxide or 'Nytrous Plus (in automotive use).
NX (Nitrous Express) Doesn't make anything called NOS.
Venom Doesn't make anything called NOS.
Zex Doesn't make anything called NOS.
Nitrous Works Doesn't make anything called NOS.
etc. etc. But they are all companies that make automotive nitrous kits.
If you want to use a three letter acronym to represent Nitrous Oxide you should use the chemical name of 'N2O' (Not NO2 which is Nitrogen Dioxide).

It isn't about being smart. It's about having the will to educate ones self. There are too many people in the country today that have zero ambition to do so and they identify themsmelves regularly.
I am here to learn and to educate, as most of us are.

Even if its a Puffs
When you make a photo copy of something, don't you Xerox it?
Even if its on a Ricoh
When you have a cut, do put on a Band-Aid?
Even if its a Target brand?
After a while, the leading product brand name will become the generic name for all brands of that product. So couldn't NOS be accepted as a generic term for all brands of Nitrous?
Why is it that you have to try to show some sense of superiority by being so **** that a greased BB couldn't get up your butt? SR20DEN, you should really calm down and get a grip, when you thump on your chest and say, "Look at me and how smart I am!", most people just see an arrogant a$$. I don't know you from Adam and I'm sure you know more about squeezing HP out from an engine than I do but I do know that I get the impression that you are a pompous, know-it-all.

Everyone is here to learn more about their automobiles and share similar interests. If we don't articulately and decisiviely deliver our points they'll go unnoticed and get brushed aside.
I also hate BS and I refuse to use it. I do not care about hurting someones feelings if I know they're potentially learned something useful.

My initial statement in this thread stands, venture outside the 6th gen forums and you'll quicky discover that all or most of these questions have been answered dozens of times already. But no one paid attention to that statement because I didn't slap anyone in the face with it.
