Default Turbo Maxima Top Speed

Well, We did a turbo system for a Maxima. and @ 6 PSI this thing runs freaking fast! It could take a stock LS1. But, nothing more. But hey, this thing is very cool! Have a look at the video!

Yeah! 240 Kph. It did 245-250 kph but the video cuts before it did. That is about 150-155 MPH

I love Bahrain.I spent almost a year there.Before security got so tight.I was able to enjoy the night life <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" /> & those wonderful Gulf Air girls. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
I never saw anyone running radar there so I'll bet having a fast car would be a lot of fun.

You live very close! What are you doing there? Come and cross the bridge, you will have lots of fun in Bahrain <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" /> If you plan on going there let me know, I will be glad to greet you and show you around (when I am back though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> )
I haven’t been there for about 3 years! But, I will go there in about 2 months! We had a runway that we used to run official drag races on, but it is closed now for US Jet fighters getting prepared. It should be open again very soon! Also, Bahrain is building a formula track that should be ready in 2004. With it is going to be a very nice ¼ mile drag race track! <img border="0" alt="[gruffy cottonball]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_gruffy.gif" />
