Default Times.....

Well, so far my best time was a 14.94@ 92.13mph on stock tires, w/ an AEM CAI and cat back exhaust.....now that i have my header and new tires and rims I'm not sure what I'll run. Most ppl online are posting times of about 14.5s-14.7s with the same mods. So, I really have no idea what I'm running now, but I think it'll be closer to the 14.5-14.6 range, b/c I still haven't seen anyone online run a 14.XX in a Spec with just an Intake and exhaust. But, plain and simply put, we need a 1/4mi track close by so i can test these things more often , I think everyone is in agreement there. BTW, I'm also considering getting the new lightened crank pulley, which has been dynoed at 5-7 hp and tq at the wheels. (yeah thats nuts for a lightened pulley, but they say the stock one weighs a fuckload). So I see this as a decent mod.

Default Cool...

SpecVT,

well running a potential 14.6 is still a time that makes driving a car fun It isn't like my car that comes stock at 15.3-15.6 depending on driver. At least my shit ain't stock anymore, LOL.

And YES, YES...we so need a 1/4 track. I haven't run at a 1/4 OR 1/8 yet, but that will change this spring/summer. Let's all pitch in and buy some land and make our OWN track...RIIIIGHT. Oh well, Bristol isn't THAT far way

Peace,

J

Probably 14.90ish...unless you really didn't get traction last time, but will this time, but sounds to me like you did.

Actually there is alot of contraversy in terms of how much power lighten pullies give. Some say Lightend pullies dont do anything, but rather underdriven pulleys perform better. but of course there are those who say the exact opposite....

but i consider pullies Free Hp...just like freeing up airflow. I honestly hope u see those mid to low 14's with ur mods.

HUH? Are u saying that I'll still be running a 14.9 with a new header and new tires? i don't understand, maybe I'm reading it wrong.....but the stock tires absofuckinglutely BLOW, all the SpecV owners hate them, they are truely a horrible tire. Thats why with new one I can easily get a better hook up.

I wasn't aware of the bad tires, I assumed you had a good launch/grip situation.

also, you got a passenger headlight out..unless there's another spec v in town

I have the pulley your talkin about, seems like i have a bit more top end more throttle response, and a barely noticeable change in midrange. And what most people online are running 14.5 and 14.6? I go to www.thevboard.com & www.b15sentra.net i don't see it happening.

But there was someone on b15sentra that had a time slip for proof, that ran a 15.0 bone stock on 18's.

edit: i saw someone ran a 14.5 with intake header and exhaust.

Oh, I didn't mean that everyone was running those times, I was just saying that, that was the range that I've seen, I go to b15 all the time. It seems like most of the decent drivers on there are pulling about those times, give or take.

And to Probe guy, there are 3 other black SpecVs in town, so I think it was one of them. Thanks tho.

I got it for 172.10 I'm happy with it so far except for the rougher idle. (part of the group buy on www.thevboard.com, my name there is diduceme.)

http://www.ptuning.com/html/Item-Des...delDesc=Sentra (pulley for 194.95 shipped)

thats where I got my intake from they are pretty close by and have free shipping, i got my intake in 2 days on standard shipping.

Edit... Unless you have another big mod in mind id say go for this one. I can tell a difference and so far ive had it on a month and 2 weeks and no problems, or oil leaking.

It makes the engine feel like it has more punch, revs faster and like i said before makes it feel like you have more top end. I've let a few of the locals with specs drive it and they say they feel more pull in my car with it so.. the choice is up to you.
