| Motor Trend Magazine tested one of our supercharged SMX Maximas (December 1998) and got the following results: 0-60 mph in 5.9 seconds (stock was 7.4). Their 1/4 mile time was 14.4 seconds at 98.8 mph vs. stock at 15.5, 90 mph. Their conclusion: "...a roomy...four-door that humbles prestigious sport sedans costing double, trip or quadruple (as much)." The experience of a Maxima equipped with our STILLEN Supercharger is awesome. The car starts and idles normally with just a hint of whine from the supercharger being the only initial clue of what is to come. As the gas pedal is applied, the whine vanishes and car pulls normally to about 3500 rpm. As this is passed, it just flat takes off and pulls hard to red line. Horsepower is increased from the stock 190 to approximately 275 at the flywheel. The 2000 Maxima enjoyed a significantly greater increase. Torque (measured at the wheels) jumps from the stock 176 to 220 ft/lbs. The STILLEN Maxima Supercharger kit is complete and consists of a vane type supercharger, engine mounting bracket, new drive belt, intake plumbing, air cleaner, additional fuel management module, pump and wiring, relocation hardware for the windshield washer reservoir and more. Installation should be done by a trained and experienced professional. The kit must be used with good quality 92+ octane fuel and is not to be combined with any other engine or engine control unit (ECU) modifications. It is recommended for vehicle in excellent operating condition that are driven responsibly. |
