13.78@98mph is damn impressive. Congrats.
How were the other Maximas running? Was the Altima an auto or 5 speed?
As for wind, I've never noticed any detrimental effects whether it be a 20mph headwind, crosswind, or tailwind. I write down the conditions for the day on my slips and I can't see any measureable difference. Maybe others will chime in with their experiences.

I didn't have any great times, I ran 14.3's all day reguardless of 60' or trap speed, I tapped anywhere from 96-99.9 and still ran a 14.3, the wind had alot to do with the slower traps in the begining it was blowing like 30mph. I spent most of the day trying to relearn how to launch my car, I finally got some decent tires ( dunlop FM901's) which can grip like mad but I still couldnt seem to get my 60' time down while spraying, off the bottle they were fine, but was running 2.3's all day on the spray, oh well at least I had fun on the highway on the way home isn't that right Blu

Oh well, I am going to Fontana, CA on March 9th to try to show up all the VQ's. But, there's no way I can touch my best time. I am thinking I can only get low 15's.

Ok I feel slightly retarded but my best was a 13.79 @ 98.4. I guess my vision was screwy after allthat driving but I will snap a pic of a few of my slips when I get home. Of course I forgot them again on my way to work but I will get a couple slips up tonight.

Nice run and congrats. About the MAF problem, have u tried throwing in a 2k1 MAF. I know Ethan did that and it worked, but I dont know if it blew the 2k1 MAF sensor. If for some reason 2k2-3 start blowing 2k1 sensors then im sure the MAF isnt the problem and would look elsewere. This whole MAF thing is bs.

. Ethan did blow the 01 MAF but it wasn't the TSB one. Now he has the 01 TSB MAF and everything is ok so far....we will see in the future.Matt

Matt,
What sensor do you have in there now?
I want to go ahead and get an extra sensor (I think just the sensor is around $90 from Custom but I'm not sure). I haven't blown one yet but don't want it to go at the track.
Are the new 2K2 Maf's reliable and do you know where you can get just the sensor (not the $500 plastic and sensor)?
You went so long w/o MAF issues - thought you and me would be the "MAF exceptions"!

My thoughts exactly
Not saying it didn't happen, seems odd for boltons and no internal work. That means my car is a real P.O.S.Was the 30mph gust WITH or against you?
Something just doesn't add up. If the wind was at least head on at 20mph i'm guessing that would make .2-.3 second difference in your E.T. So correct the times for the wind and you 'could've' driven 13.49 all motor?????? That means a max that shoots a 75 to 100 shot of juice, yet still comes up with the approximate time, just really has that bad of a driver. And your 60ft was over 2 seconds, come on. Your car must be able to win a tug of war against a jet to make up that kind of time after the 60. That also means you could be in the 11's, or damn close with 100 shot.
Please tell me what i'm understanding--was there a tear in the time/space continum (msp)? that sombody forgot to tell me about.
I'm sure you guys will start flaming me now and that's cool. Just remember present yourself as an adult even if you're not. No need for name calling and such.

Unless the track has NO VHT then I would agree still then you would be pressing me hard to get me to agree. Also, i've driven an 02 automatic with the same mods and i own an auto myself; and i don't see how the tires could blow loose on the track.
There is something the boys haven't let us in on yet.

. I still spin my slicks and if I launched like I did on slicks with street tires I would blow my tires up in smoke. I don't get what you are trying to say but I have 2 videos of my 13.8 runs as proof and I will be scanning my slips tomorrow.Matt
