the best part is seeying the faces of the z and g35c drivers when they get beat the dumbest comment i ever gotten was ata meet and a guy came up that drove a z and said "look he got the 3.5 engine cover to fit on the 3.0". i was jsut cracking up. that just proves some people are not true enthuasiasts and dont know anything except how to pay somebody to make their car look good.

reminds me of the nissan salesman that told me to "move my altima to open up some space in the lot"

Cool. There should be some video from the Maxus Event. Thanks for all your comments guys. Again I must say all the props go to Stephenmax and the others that helped him. I would have never been able to do this myself.

People are pretty surprised seeing a 3.5 in my car. Not as surprised as seeing me beat a 2004 GTO and a 2005 Mustang on my all-season tires though.
American muscle guys were actually pretty respectful, Honda punks were a bit more arrogant about their 15-second cars though.
Before the run that is

Wow these are the dyno numbers after the 3.5 motor swap? What caused Tilley's numbers to be so much higher (233whp/230wtq)? Does he have TS or JWT ecu?

wat year patherfinder TB are you using? I know its off a 3.5 but dunno the yr. Also was there any modifications to it that was require to make it work or it bolted right up?
Anyone 3.5 swapers running Hotshot headers? I'm assuming that cattman headers works with this swap so would the Hotshot right?

Second, maybe I didn't set the rpm switch correctly. I tested it at low rpm and the VIAS operated, but when I reset the switch to 4800 rpm I didn't retest. My bad.
Thirdly, like you mention, the afr may need some tuning. And like I mentioned before, the timing needs to be optimized somehow.

But the three things I would think caused those low numbers are A/F and timing tune, its an automatic and no one was getting decent automatic #s that night, and im not completly sold on that stock 2k2 VIAS. SR's method would be the way to go for gaining alot of top end.

That's interesting. I need Dubbya to dyno here at a shop that I am familiar with.
