Roadkilled a 95 Z28(auto LT1) twice. Last fall he ran a 13.94 at Great Lakes
Dragway. Since then he has put on a CAI and a cat back exhaust so he was real
cocky I mean confident. Kill #1: We caught the light and we both looked over and
smiled so I knew the race was on. When the light turned green he got the jump by
a car. I it gave 80% throttle and was spinning the tires through first gear. I hit
second gear then floored it and I was reeling him in. I then passed him up with the
greatest of ease.

Kill #2: We were rolling down 72 through busse woods, a common midwest meeting
point for many internet car sites, at about 35 mph. I was in second gear. He raised
his arm to signify the start. He dropped his hand, I floored it and at the top end of
second I looked into the drivers side mirror and he was back by more than two car
lengths. Wow I pulled him like a bad tooth!!!!!

He pulled along side me with his hand up in the air and his index and middle finger
pointed downward moving in a forward and backward scissor type motion. He was
telling me that I had walked him.

He will never look at a another Maxima in the same way again!!! Heeee Heeeeee.

who are curious when a post is "Moderator Approved" and when one is not, please contrast this post with details, numbers, etc. with <A HREF="https://maxima.org/forums/showthread.phtml?threadid=23394">this one</A> which is not "Moderator Approved" and only leads to flames....

Great kill Steve!

Nice Run Steve, how's the intercooler working out?

How, much boost did you loose when you added it?

I lost about 1 to 1.5 lbs of boost due to

the cooler air intake temps. I can't wait to get to the track.

the cooler air intake temps. Thats why I was able to go with the 3.25 pulley. I'm now at 10lbs of peak boost. I can't wait to get to the track.
