Well i know most of you guys, thought i was just bull shitting about, “wait till spring” … but i did get my car running and tuned with the new setup. The work was done by me in my garage. And also my buddy (there are just some things you have to do with someone else). The car has been tuned and dynoed at a relativly low boost, due to the new motor. There are some bugs to work out, but for the most part this thing is nuts. At the lowest boost, it is faster than the first setup ever was.

:finger2: … 32 psi is a decent boost level for this setup, but no where near the highest i can run… boost levels on the dyno could see 40+. Power was also decreased by only reving it to 7k rpm, with the port/polished head, and valves, i will be able to rev to 8500rmps, which in turn, creates a ton more power. Oh yeah, and this was without a 100 shot of nitrous, which will be used when the rings finally set, and as you can see, the clutch slipped (0mile clutch that needs to be heated up).

power 6 is the 6 cylinder class. run in quick 8 format. I know 1320, rusty240, and I are goin to run some national events this year if you get it runnin good you should come out too.

edit: are you still goin to run BFG’s or are you goin to go with a ET street or full slick?

I see, sounds like a blast.

The bfg’s are on the current wheels for the street. I also have a set of 16" CCW wheels with ET Streets on it, as well as a set of skinnies for the front.

Very nice ride. I hope to see it run at PRP this year. What do you expect to run with that setup?

Hoping is definetly different than doing. I know this setup is capable of running mid 9’s @ 150mph on boost alone. because it has been done.

Now for actually doing that is going to take some serious time and practice! The car will be in the 10’s right off the bat, and then we will see in there… its in the time i put into it and also the practice… we will see this summer at PRP though

that car is pretty much perfect for sport RWD in NHRA. I think minimum weight is 3500lbs and most cars pull low 10’s to high 9’s in the class.

congrats again

id hope so, with 850hp… but still doesnt change the fact that supras are dyno queens 🙂

swap out the rear axle with a Ford 8.8, and get more aggressive gearing
