Fast Slow cars Had the wagon wheel 3.5 pulley on my Regal tonight and ended up having to change it out to run a Vortech supercharged 4th Gen Maxima. Guys were pretty cool afterwards... although beforehand I think one of them wasn't sure if I was serious when I asked to race his blown Max, lol
This is the dyno for a typical 3.5 swapped Max
3.5 Swap Max with bolt ons, 6spd or 5spd
My car 3.5'' pulley and extra 250lb passenger
Vortech supercharged Maxima, 5spd
My car 3.2'' pulley, equal passengers
It was funny after I ran the 3.5 swapped Max he was sayin how he thought he mighta had me. I wasn't interested because I was spotting him about 30whp and a 250lb passenger. So I asked to run the blown Max which was supposedly WAY faster. They thought I was kidding, lol. I changed from the 3.5 pulley to the 3.2 right there in the parking lot and we went out and ran it, this time with equal passengers. They were surprised to say the least.
I can't say I was surprised by their reactions to my asking for a race. Their cars were quick and they saw my Regal sitting over in the corner of the lot with birdshit on it. They probably thought I was a little whacko.

Haha, nice runs! Don't remember seeing those maximas down there but I'll have to look for them now. That 3.5 swapped one would be a cool race for my brother's TA I think.

Belt slip on a 3.4? If you're running the stock belt and tensioner the belt is likely too big. Grab a 3.5'' tensioner, I got mine from napa for like 10 bucks. It'll make everything tighter and it'll also wrap the belt further around the blower pulley.
