Won't be up forever though, limited space. If anyone with more space wants to host 'em, let me know so I can point people to it!

And the `99 Maxima mentioned on the first page is none other Jay Lee!

th handling #'s on that car were great...

considering all they had were eibach springs...that's right they used stock shocks. but i'm thinking the 18" pirelli's helped too. those custom seats were sweet!

IMHO the supercharger is better....

Look at the torque curve it falls off after 5000rpm. The stillen 2k max with the supercharger made 305hp at the wheels at 6500rpm. Not to mention the turbo kit required JWT to revert back to a 95 ECU and wire harness. Given the cost of reverting back to a 95 ECU on top of what turbo kits run for nissans it would cost around $5k. I would rather take the supercharger and keep all the highend torque.

Hi Brian,

Nice job on the scans. I can host them if you want me to, I have a lot of space. Just let me know, and I will put them on up on my site.
