OK I got this from a Supra friend. Lets not get cocky but it is pretty cool. I wonder who it is. NOS is a beatiful thing. Oh as my disclaimer I'm not saying we are quicker than Supras I don't want angry Supra's beating up on me here in Houston. I just thought it was cool to HANG with a Supra.I think we all know The Supra is one of the best Japanese sport cars.

Subject: [tx-mkiv] Interesting night of racing (WTF?)



Tonight at the local racing meet, a couple friends with Maximas asked me to be the chase car to video their racing on the highway.

Loren's 97 Maxima has a Stillen supercharger kit at 10psi and is putting down ~300hp at the wheels. (note that this is only a 3100lb car). Thomas' 97 Maxima dyno'd 270 front wheel hp (fwhp) a few weeks ago on a 100 shot of NOS, and this week he had some tricks up his sleeve (he said just an open exhaust / removed cats, and added a window switch). So anyways, we roll out and they race.. I'm starting from behind them expecting to pull a Clint catchup maneuver as it is of course two Maximas racing that I'm following... so I just let them start the race and punch it after I hear them punch it. Thomas' black Maxima with the NOS is pulling steadily on Loren's, but I'm not catching up to Thomas. They raced a few more times and each time I'd let them jump then floor it, and I'd catch Loren each time but couldn't catch Thomas after his jump! So I get next to Thomas' black Maxima and signal that I want to race him.. 40 punch, my 3rd honk, and oh my God I'm racing a Maxima on the highway in a BPU++ Supra and he's not fading. 120mph and he's ahead of me by a couple feet. By 150mph I'd passed him and had a half a car on him. Yes, you read that right, a 98 Maxima with open exhaust and an unknown (claimed 100) shot of NOS stayed with my BPU++ Supra to 150. I gotta admit, this was definitely the most surprising and INTERSTING race of my life... I also raced a Grand National tonite, from a roll and off the line, and beat him.. and I raced Jonathan Altschul's BPU++ Supra that I'm usually dead even with, and he pulled me by a couple car lengths by 120 from a dead stop after I launched evenly with him if not better. So my car's not running QUITE the way it should (420rwhp on pump gas if all is perfect), but I'm probably still making 380-390rwhp with whatever problem I have (maybe a boost leak or spark plugs). So I'd guess that Thomas' lighter Maxima was probably making 350-360rwhp at the wheels to hang with me.. They dyno 160fwhp stock, and ~185-190fwhp with completely open exhaust and intake, so I think he had a little more than the claimed "100 shot" that gave him 270fwhp only a few weeks ago. I'm surprised that VQ30DE motor in that Maxima is still in one piece.

All I can say is WOW.

He's the dude with a Supra site that has a picture of a Max in front of his house. Ahh it's all coming together.

single stage dry kit. .047 nitrous jet.

no one believes how much it makes a diff. untill they see it run. I'm fixing to get a new setup. I was spraying a single fogger/ wet NOS kit. It pulled like crazy. My frien knows Andi and he said that he couldn't believe a Max could even keep up. So now the challenge is on. He wants to run me in his TT. Its less modded so I think I should have a chance. 100 shot was what I wanted this time but I'd think you could even get nozzeles to go 100 I thought 20 were the smallest jets
