Performance Enhancement "Real or Imaginary"
Check this out
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Perfo...item19b8e7461e
Not that I really need this, but was looking thru Ebay on my lunch break at what they are trying to sell for our Maximas and this one popped up.
I wonder if this would actually help at all.
It sure do talk a good game, but it could also be nothing or something to smoke my several hundred dollar MAF.

Oh crap. You're going to get yourself in trouble for that one. Besides, I thought you ordered the booster with catch & release skepticism? C'mon, Sparks, why don't you test out the Performance Enhancer, too?

Wasn't planning on buying.
Just thought it would be a good thread
I'm older than I want to admit.
I've worked for 25 years as a Elect Engineer and 8 of them for GM (Yes, I hate to admit that). If something smart existed that lets you get power/response, better mileage, driveability, and still meet emissions they would have done it.
That's not to say that you can't increase one or two of the above by sacrificing the third. Or comfort. Or drivability.
Most of the things on cars are compromises trying to keep everyone as happy as possible.
Kind of depressing actually.

But op don't buy it, that's like putting neons under your car and driving around in a wife beater on the way to pick up your girl friend from middle school....
Wowow I'm done

All these chips do is tell the ECU that the temperature is something that it is not which leans out the car, which WILL gain horsepower, albeit not safely. You will most likely cause some damage with prolonged use, or WOT runs.

Not just leans it out, but adds a lot of timing also. The stock ECU also doesn't check for knock above 5000 rpms. Seems like a bad combo.
Dude I got mine in yesterday and installed! ITS AMAZING! It increases throttle response so much that before I even put my foot on the gas I was screaming down the road at mind blistering speeds.

Nothing wrong with asking questions about products on the market. It's just too bad there are so many people that are over 18 going on 12...

Dont get your panties in a bundle. I know we all act childish sometimes. But if there is grass on the field play ball.

With all of these things combined you could be truly fast without spending much money at all.
Also buy a set of Nology hotwires and splice them into your coil packs to supercharge your ignition. A home made rear diffuser can also make you go faster at high speeds. Plus, garage door insulator front air dams can increase stability at high mph when reinforced with flat black paint or made of carbon fiber. Carbon Fiber hoods and trunks (also interior pieces and side view mirrors) can be serious weight reducers and give you a lower center of gravity for powerful launches.

This is serious business, how to setup a proper race car. Sparks03max just gave everyone the magic formula; respect.

The most powerful maximas have no interior and 1 racing seat. You can make a pretty leather padded wrapping (red, green... maybe orange) for daily driving and remove it at the race track or at the local street racing meet. Make sure to have a 6-point harness because it is "comfy." You must reduce weight and increase HP (HP TO WEIGHT RATIO) in order to combat VTEC and other forced induction vehicles like V8s.

On topic of this post, this device will actually increase power, especially in warm weather. It may also cause detonation in warm weather.
I would not risk it.
