Wow, now that is what I'm talking about! Thank you all for the help. You know what? Now that I have time to think about it, it just might be the auto tranny. I remember now that even after installing Don's VB mod, I would get lag from time to time. It's all the auto tranny's fault! Even with my setup, racing from a stop or a low mpg roll is the best way to go. Racing on the highway at 60mph still sucks. I'm not 100% positive that it is the auto tranny. Who knows. I guess I would get a better knowledge once I get the gauges install. So, in conclusion, I still don't know what's wrong. It could be the auto tranny, then again, it could be something else. Man, kind of make me wish I could just get rid of this car, and get a SupraTT!

FMI might not be such a good idea, make sure its sized properly, and you get the least amoount of pressure drop, cause I made the mistake by ordering a mamouth FMI, and my car ran like crap. I'm learning more about FMIs to get a better understanding about design vs function.

The amount of work, and parts in 3 of my Maximas, would get me into a ///M5, but what fun would that be ?
More to come....

Well I guess I'll just keep dreaming (and squeezing the bottle!) till then... 5spd+S/C=

It's already done, just waiting for spring 2002, maybe get some more tuning done by then, I just want it to blow STILLEN out the box, hands down, I don't wanna hear complaints, I wanna hear big block kills, and insane street kills. That's the stuff street dreams are made of.

Ok, I think the automagic is the culprit. I want to get a torque converter. Is there any other benefit a TC provide other than launching? Level Ten is quite expensive though.
