If Maxima #1 is lighter than Maxima #2 and Maxima #1 has higher HP and TQ Dyno Numbers than Maxima #2

does that mean that Maxima #1 is faster than Maxima #2?

Maxima #1 is 5spd
Maxima #2 is AUTO w/ VB.. stall convertor and other crazy stuff...

I would say so. Obviously its easier to push something lighter when your stronger than to push a heavier thing when you're weaker.

Hey, last time I checked humans ARE at the top of the food chain, funny though. And Sprint, did you leave out gearing? It really does mean alot.

Most likely #1 will win, but it still depends on the curve of the HP/TQ.

Lets take two auto maxima. #1 is SC and the dyno shows peak HP gain of 250hp. # 2 is nitrous and the dyno shows peak HP gain of 250hp. The nitrous guy will run faster.

If you compare the charts, you will see nitrous hits hard. It will give you instant 240ish hp @ 4k rpm. The HP stays like that to redline. The SC will have to boost up to 6.5K rpm to get to 250hp. The nitrous will give you massive Tq right from the start too.

If it helps Maxima #1 and Maxima #2 are running the same shot of NOS

Oh...you are talking about Synki. You probably have the edge, but it all depends how you drive. If you can't control your wheelspins or miss a shift....

Nothing crazy here. And i dont have a new torque converter. But that will be on its way soon though. Tony, i dont think he is referring to me. At least not to my knowledge. But Sprnt is out of my league though. Maybe he is talkin about yours?

Phil vs. Don?

Wait, that can't be. Phil has a supercharger, not NOS. Well, not that big of a shot, I think.

you are soo wrong .. I'll bet you the fastest maxima isn't even on this board.. do you have any idea how many S/C'd maxima's there are out there that don't post here ..

you guys talk about 100 shot NOS and smaller pulley S/C and that fine .. but thas only 15-20 guys on this BBS ..
do you think STillen would fabricate an S/C for less that 500 units or prolly more like 1000 units ?

a bike ? i guess you could call it that ..
with all this nitrous goin around i just had to have some
so i put NOS on my old Puch moped, i'm only running a 125shot right now because of traction problems ..

my other mods are custom intake
a old 2 barrel carb
ultra high free flow exhaust

i attached my gauge pod to my right handle bar for EGT's and my A/F gauge

my only race soo far was this pesky Twin Turbo Hennessy Venom Viper POS .. boy did i smoke him ..
