S/C the max again?

I am thinking of buying "ANOTHER" supercharger for the maxima, but I am only conserned with the belt issue. I had a problem with it shredding once and had to have my car towed. The other problem I had was an oil return line that got cut in half and had to do the long process of teardown to fix it. Guess I just need some words of incouragement.

SC = Waste of time and money. Need speed? Buy some REAL CAR. Thats MY opinion and you dont have to agree with it.

Its a waste of time if you know what Wayne went through before :-p

And its waste of money because we dont have the right HP to start with in the first place. Plus wats the use of this extra HP again?

so you are saying that it wont yield a good output after SC'ed a Maxima?

Plus wats the use of this extra HP again?
hmm..I've only heard ppl worrying about the SC will not give enough power. but the extra 100whp is very fun and useful.

I say go for it! I did it. Having two SC that is.


To be honest, I regret selling the second one, the V1 that I sold to seximagtr.


Maybe I'll get a third one.

Well, if we have to explain it to you.... you know the rest.

But why do you call yourself Max4speed, then? Automagic?

Max4Speed because I am satisfied with the stock HP my max has. Where did AUTOmagic come from again?

HE asked for opinions so that is my opinion. 190hp on a maxima.. Good enough. 394hp on an M5 good enough. But then again different ppl have different tastes.

I was thinking 4 speed automatic.

190 hp on a Maxima is good, 300 is even better. And it's vastly cheaper than the M5 (which I admit is one of my dream cars, but I've got two kids to get through college first).
