#2799, "98 RS HRC Stage 2 vs 97 Maxima SE (stock)"
hi,
my buddy wants to race but I want to get insight on the outcome. I've got the HRC stage 2 with the final drive mod, af/x udp, obx muffler in my AT. he is also AT and stock runing approx 205 HP. What do you think, hes got torque on his side?
thanks

Let me help you get a clear picture. I have raced my friend with a 6-speed 2003 Max, 255hp PLUS a K&N cone filter AND race gas. At 8psi when I start in 2nd gear he can't win. For some reason he misses shift or whatever. 3 times already. But if we are at 50mph, him in second, on the highway, me in 2nd or 3rd he will get a car lenght jump at 90 mph and hold till about 100, when he shuts down. That's at 8psi. I can't run from a stop. He has factory LSD, I don't...yet. Hope that helps give you a clear picture..

This question is a no brainer, the torque is not a factor, remember your car has good torque as well, but you're running a stage II, this race is a mis-match..you'll take him easily
