Stillen Maxima
Stillen has built up a reputation as one of the premier manufacturers for Nissan's go fast parts. So when it came time for Nissan to power up a Maxima for duty as a CART pace car Stillen handled the build up. This project acted as the groundwork for the company's blower kit and a host of other Maxima components. Pressurization is provided by a Vortech V1-S supercharger operating in conjunction with a Stillen exhaust system with custom intermediate pipes and a few other tricks. Stillen's mods and six psi of boost increased output to 281 hp as measured at the wheels which is quite a jump from the 187.7 hp baseline run (222-hp at the flywheel). The Maxima, in five-speed SE-trim guise, is a real sleeper- powerful, roomy and only $24-$25k it is one of those cars that will sell itself after one test drive. Rumor has a 260-hp model hitting the scene in 2001 (as a 2002 model) which may make more people take notice of this fast four-door.
