I want to make up a list to help people figure out how much hp and ft-lbs of torque gain they realized from their mods for both the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Gen Maximas. Can you all post the numbers that you got.

4th Gen
1996 SE
3" RT cat gained 7hp and 17ft-lb of torque

 

Is that on a dyno?? If so I an getting a RT cat this week

 

are those #'s just from a cat with stock pipes?

 

Anyway I gained 11hp/13lb-ft at the peaks from my custom CAI. Also I had a 14hp/9lb-ft average gain from 4000-5500rpm. With that intake on my car my previous best ET/trapspeeds went from 17.0 @ 79.5 to 16.7 @ 81.0. Matter of fact my car with no cool down whatsoever still ran 16.8-16.9s at 80mph. I didn't get to dyno any of the other mods though .

 

Oh yeah 98Max....it's well worth the money....awesome results for under 200 bucks. I love it.

The gains from these mods began to become apparent at 3500 rpm. Below that, there were no gains. Basically, these mods didnt allow much more PEAK torque, but the high rpm torque is drastically higher as it hardly falls off at all.
