A couple things I would recommend. Go to Racinglineperformance.com and buy their front strut tower bar, and Progress Rear Sway Bar. Purchase new or upgrade your breaks, no point in trying to go fast if you can't stop. I recommend the Z23 or Z26 kits from Powerstop and purchase steel braided brake lines along with some good brake fluid. After all this, go to nwpengineering.com and buy their Phenolic spacers, it is hands down the number 1 performance item that is made for our car. After that, go to 2j-racing.com and purchase their lightweight underdrive pulley. At this point your car should be at about 285/290 HP. Think about getting the Racingline Performance high flow precats and Y pipe. Then think about getting it tuned and you should be near 340 or so HP.

Headers helped my car tremendously. Also look at lightening your car. Remove rear seat for races, remove spare tire and tools, remove mufflers, lighter wheels (big help but expensive), lighter brakes, coilovers, etc. Consider sticky tires for the front wheels (Falken Azenis RT615 for example). Once you have done engine mods, you should dyno tune the ECU from Technosquare. I have about 280 HP at the wheels (about 315 at the crank) and my car is much lighter than stock.

No supercharger kit is available for your year Maxima...Sorry to break it to you, but you bought the wrong car if you plan to do a lot of racing. Turbo is really your only option. Hope you have deep pockets...

He's looking for speed, not handling and things that will only weigh his car down more...

Brakes>breaks
Again, he's looking for power adders. I understand the point of better brakes, but he's far from even needing them.

Finally, a power adder. But stating that it's the number 1 power adder for the car when the gains are 10hp and 12ft-lb of torque is comical....If this is the number one power adder, then surely the other mods are even less HP.

Another power adder at a whopping 9hp and 12tq

A 50hp bump in power on a NA tune with pump gas on a 6th gen Maxima?! Sign me up.


Chernmax, a turbo 6th gen, put down 345hp. Hopefully that puts things in perspective at how inflated and unrealistic your numbers are.
