Ok noob question. I saw a YOUTUBE video of a Maxima launch and the tach just stayed around 5 grand through the whole pull. Mine does the "fake shifting" as they call it when I accelerate hard.. What is the technique and settings used to get that type of pull? And I don't understand why traction control apparently has to be off. What does that matter?

 

Well, traction control reduces power by applying brake or power to the wheel which is slipping/spinning.

I don't think turning off traction control will make it go faster.

For example if you will lunch from zero with traction control off the wheels will most definitely spin and it will affect the acceleration performance.

Traction control is more of a safety feature.

Im not really sure but I think ABS and TC could be the same system or at least have some sort of embedded system.

 

If your tires spins on launch, hence the traction control off, the rpm are going to stay steady instead of fake shifts. My car does that.

As for best settings for performance, I ran on the quarter mile with traction control off, and sport mode and i ran a 13.82@102 which is pretty solid. Track was sticky that day.

 

Those are pretty impressive numbers. Did you have it in D or did you manually shift it?

 

I left it in D. I also have a y pipe and a Borla cat back.
The conditions were good temp was cool and humidity was low. I’m 507.

 

Awesome...I figured you had some kind of mod. That free flowing exhaust must give you a few 10ths. You kinda smoked the other guy. What was he driving?

 

Tuned gti. He spun a lot but had great mph.

 

I see that. If he hooked up he may have had you. Are you satisfied with the aftermarket exhaust?

 

It’s very quiet. Other than that it fits me well I ain’t no 17 years old boy racer.

it was from the 7th gen and I modified the muffler to fit with the right angle.

 

@kasdepwel - wow! great job on that! That's quite an improvement over stock.
