Greetings,

I have installed a Stillen Y, JWT Pop charger, soon a High Flow CAT and haver reset my ECU and while I see the gains at the high end of the power band I am still avid for power at the low end.
I know I could change the flywheel to an Aluminum one (there might be some complications), change my clutch to one form a Z (there might be an engagement mismatch with the aluminum flywheel). I could change my ECU to a JWT or UDP one but I think this only gives me gains over 3000 rpm (I would be already at 60 or 70 mph).
I am truly looking to improve the low end from 0 to 60 (need that acceleration).
Any advice?


Thanks guys,

Thats funny because with my car,

I have more then enough power on the low end. If I had any more power I would not get traction because I can allready peal out very easaly if I want.

so just the y, intake and exhaust will do that for you? how about just the y and intake? i hear exhaust barely makes any gains

i have to disagree, cuz have you seem the stock y-pip?? it has 2 pre-cats, and the y is all jacked up. i gained 10hp at the wheels with just intake a y-pip, here is the dyno graph to prove it. http://www.boostaholic.com/maxima/dyno/index.html . hey man, this is not a civic or someother 1.6L 4banger, this is a V6 3.0L maxima.

Carlos A: for low end power?? you can get some underdrive pully, it is worth it if you have a 5spd, cuz you can do it yourself, as for the auto, hm....get a supercharger and Don's VB mod.

Hey guys Thank you for your response.

Hey NightRider,

I am interested on ECU. Please forgive my ignorance, but what is a "S-AFC ir" (is that a company and model of ECU? or a car?)
