Just Another Day At The Track...

Does anyone have any 1/4 mile times for stock or modded CVT Max's? I was not too happy to see the lighter Altima with CVT only putting up a 14.8 with more power in the 08 years. Mine certainly feels faster than that.
Excellent times DRod!
There's a .org member named Big Dave that claims he ran a 14.53@94.7 in his stock 2007 Maxima SE CVT. So, who knows.
Cool, I can accept that. Cold weather here would be nice to get out to HRP but I'd rather not beat on it. I'm sure its more fun on the street like my truck. Traction issues and drag racing do not go hand in hand. VLSD and drag radials would be another story.
...... I will agree that the intake isn't worth over two-tenths, but I'll guesstimate at the very least a tenth, and a more stout bottom end for the 2.1x launches. Even with 60 fts to match my stock runs, I went 14.36 & 14.38 with 2.22 & 2.24 60's, respectively. That said, I will also agree...PRACTICE makes perfect.
Now I need to free up some of that exhaust to raise my traps.

Wow, nice that you can get some runs in this time of year. Good 60' times as well. How are you launching?

Thanks. I'm actually on Toyo T1Rs with 19" G35 Coupe wheels. I never ran the Max with the stock 18s. BUT, I ran my GTP with the RS-As and pulled 1.9x & 2.0x 60ft times. People are quick to knock the tires before they try to get a feel for them. There are definitely better tires out ther than RS-As, but it shouldn't be impossible (just very difficult) to get a 2.1x 60ft in a stock Max w/RS-As. Just my $0.02.

I power brake (I haven't looked) probably up to about 2,000-2,200RPM, and let go at the light. I don't add anymore gas until I feel the car rolling a bit so I don't break 'em loose. I ease into the gas and then nail it. Of course, all of this is within seconds, but a little practice, and you'll get it right. Oh...and I use the Tiptronic shifting. With my old car (Grand Prix GTP), the CAI was also a bottom-end booster. Top end didn't come until the exhaust was improved. I definitely feel the difference down low in the butt dyno.

i would think i could put down a 14.1-14.0 now... wont know for sure till around march when i goto the track next..
OoOo... and my runs were at 2400 ft elavation... so maybe im faster than i thought LOL
I'm not knocking RS-A's, they're all-season tires. With my mods, especially TS ECU, the traction wasn't there to be found. I spun a 2.28 60', but kept spinning with less than half throttle thru 1st gear; plus it was windy and dusty. I haven't been back in over a year, but planning to go back this season with better tires.
Thanks, SN. Actually I didn't deflate them at all. I used to do that with my GTP, but not with the Max...yet. I'm heading back out to the track again tonight for another go. I have very little gas left, which is how I like to do it. I may try defalting the tires some this time as well.
