what trim maxima

 

8 psi and a perfect fuel system should put you right next to the maxima

 

Or maybe just a few "k"s.

Running an auto he's going to have a huge advantage over you because of the difference in displacement and therefore torque as well. His powerband will be a lot meatier and yours well...it won't be because your car will tend to shift in the best part of your powerband (though I don't know exactly how the adaptive transmission might change that). You're asking a good bit to keep up with a fairly high output NA 6 like that...much less beat it.

 

maximas a se....

 

If it's the 255 HP Maxima SE we all know and love, I'd say the Lancer is in trouble. The auto tranny isn't going to hold 8 PSI of boost safely. 6 is the hypothesized magic number for boost on autos.

 

Does your friend realize he spent nearly doulbe on his max over your car? I'd just laugh when I showed him my car payment next to his.

 

Yeah, but they get what they pay for...power, styling and a good bit of luxury.

I'd write this off as a loss unless you get your tranny beefed up to handle heavier boost. Otherwise you'll be lookin' at those semi-narsty tails for the handful of seconds that count.

 

3.5 maxima is so dope, altima is doper imo, lancer is probably lunch if you don't have differential, 8 psi, lightweight wheels and gripp tires
