i dunno bout that one evil. my 76 with just an intaked and straight exhaust. took down a 99 maxima with an intake and auto transmission. could have been the driver, but also it was a curvy four lane road.

whats the et for a stock 95 max? those got the 222 hp engine right? if the max is 3000lbs thats right around a 16 flat in the quarter

the s130 n/a weights aroudn 2900 lbs, ran a 17 flat in the quarter reducing a 100 lbs and adding 5 hp with a cone might take half a second off the et

keep in mind that the max draws it's air form the eing ecompartment, if it's a cold air intake it might have a better gain than the s130 that already has a cold air intake just gets an upgraded cone filter

if someone has actual performace data on the stock max I'd be itnerested to see how close my figures are

[2Fast280ZX]

might make it a close race

Doesn't the 80' NA have only like 140hp? I would think the Max would win.

[2Fast280ZX]

I've heard 145-165 is accurate.

I personally feel that a motor over fifty-thousand miles has more horsepower do to the "broken in factor," computers also adjust themselves a little bit depending on who's driving, that may just be on newer computers but I'm sure they're fairly similar.

[evildky]

newere computers can learn based on wideband ego signals, thes do not, and they use narrowband O2 sensors anyhow

[BadQ45t]

It only had 145 horse...the Max would probably win.
