A lighter A32 body with a sub-3000# race weight with a VQ35DE swap and the same mods at Matt could probably get an 11-sec pass all motor.

SR was already running 1.9X 60' times, so he would need to be somewhere around 1.6X IMO. That's a very hard launch and the drivetrain might not be able to handle that.

BTW.....Nice driving there SR20!

He will need considerably more power than that, though.

Not saying all that will give you a 11.9 ('cause it won't), but you'd be deep into the 12s with all that.
A year ago not many people thought 12s N/A was possible. Now it's 11s so you never know, a few years from now... Besides, competition always brings great results

Maybe you should try normal MT's
Are my eyes fooling me, or or did you really write that your slicks are 11.5" wide?? How'd you even get to fit a 11.5" wide slick on a 7" wheel?

I have always thought 12's were possible N/A, in fact Neal was damn close in his 4th gen. Maybe one day he will build up his beater and give it another shot. Not knocking anyone, but if you are into drag racing the Maxima isn't the best platform. I applaud the efforts of people like Mardi, Neal, and SR20 because it is cool to see basically a family sedan run these kind of times.
Of course a maxima is totally inadequate for drag racing, but that's part of the fun. SR20DEN can be much prouder about running 12s in his family sedan than any random camaro or firebird owner will running 12s in their car. And people will react much more to a maxima running 12s than a camaro or a firebird running 12s.

As for a Camaro of Firebird running 12's, that can be done bone stock with some good driving. I recently ordered an 05 Mustang GT because I am tired of my Maxima. I wanted a performance orientated car, with a large aftermarket.

My car ran 14.9@94.X for reference. There is now way a 4th or 5th gen could hit 11s N/A without an amazing 60' and/or more power.

What will hold me back is my suspension and not having SR's engine.

Not to hijack this thread, but I agree with krismax on this one, I have found with my own experience at the track, roughly 70lbs = 1 tenth for me.

Both of us are internet racing and speaking hypothetically, so lets get back on topic.

Even though I know it doesn't apply to my 3.0 VQ, I was reading through all these posts and am trying to figure out why you are keeping your intake manifold mod a 'secret.' If you have the plans to market this in order to really make money then I totally understand, otherwise...this forum is here to help everyone get the most information on modding out their cars, why keep secrets?

That must really look funny. How did you do that? Just curious.

I can't imagine the maxima engine living very long with that high rpm abuse.
Good job SR20DEN, that's quite an accomplishment!
