Its automatic but i am really into the tuner thing but i dont wanna look like a lame a*s by tuning an automatic car. My question is, is it really lame to sport tune an automatic car with an intake a full exhaust system and more stuff later on?, changing the tranny is not an option cuz i'm trying not to break my warranty, thanks guys.

A 2002 Altima? Your gonna look like a lame a*s... Because it's not a good tuning platform... At all... If I were you I'd sell it and get a new better platform car.

Well then by all means, post your dynograph or quartermile times. Heres what mine made with mere bolt ons to a stock motor on a crappy A2A SMIC on a 100 degree day, I should see gains of up to 40whp from a simple $250 methanol injection kit put on there.

A v6 Altima runs 14.6 in the quarter in stock form, and your telling it is a good drag platform to somebody whos car runs low 13's in stock form.
The RSX-S is a 15 second car, a car I would expect most people to be able to smoke from a roll or stop, modded ur unmodded.
GTO's, Im sure it was the 3700lb 350hp version from a roll, try taking him from a dead stop and see who is the real winner.
RX8's are a high 14 second car, another car that really isnt all that impressive to beat, try 3rd gen RX7 next time.

Hey, compared to other stock versions of cars, I am sure your v6 2005 Altima stacks up well considering it runs 14's in the quartermile, thats faster or as fast as a lot of stock turbo cars out there. But once a turbo car changes out its stock turbo with an aftermarket turbo and maxxes out the stock fuel system, thats where the playing feild changes. Wuts a v6 altima put down from the factory, about 250hp? There is no easy way to change those numbers without a $5000 turbokit/standalone ecu. Thats great, but you can not vastly increase those numbers easily like you can on a turbo 4cylinder, my car also came with about 240hp stock, but since its got an iron block and 540cc injectors, I can safely push close to 400hp at the crank by adding a mere bolt on turbokit in replacement of the stock turbo.
You have to run atleast a 12.9 just to start to get some respect, and preferably 11's or 10's.
I personally am only truly impressed by single digit quartermile cars, since that is what my stock chassis is capable of with a well tuned & built 3sgte under the engine lid.

LMAO, I beat an RSX-S on foot. Try rolling a 6.0L GTO from a stop and make sure to inform him that he's racing so you can reevaluate that statement. A stock 04 Altima is slower than a stock 4cyl Toyota Tacoma, I own both and trust me I know. And if you want to be fair, try racing the XRunner it also has a v6 with about 250hp and don't complain when it kills you. I really don't see the point of modding a family car, its lame whether it be stick or auto, its too big and too heavy to do much besides drag racing and people invented these things called muscle cars for that. Tuners should be used for racing that involves turns and an altima just can't cut it in that field.

Lenwod: Tell that to my civic. Ive only lost to one turbo car and it was a significantly modified GTI probably pushing around 270bhp which in that light weigh chasis can do some damage. Altimas are heavy from all the luxury stuff which makes them weak off the line. id totally sport one for a daily driver. Very nice luxury car. But ask yourself this: when was the last time any company used an altima for a racing platform. Answer: never. When was the last time a company used an 06+ civic Si (FG2) for a full race platform. About 3 or 4 different companies in the last 6 months.
