i was at 19psi wether or not you wanna accept you got ur feelings hurt thats up to you but the truth is the truth and that was the first thing i told you guys when we arrived at truck stop...

as far as jerome , we started out in second and i spooled so fast that traction broke instantly for it was in the high 40s that night and i almost ended up in the ditch punky can attest to this so if letting off throttle to protect self and car is a lost then i lost , i then turned it down to around 16psi and jerome i told you that i pines rem


so bottom line is i was on 19psi which tends to spike at 20 but i assure you if i was on full throttle at 23.5 which is wat i am tuned for it would have been bye bye

Anyway, your car can't compare to Jerome or Terrys car? What are you saying? Your engine is a STOCK SC LONGBLOCK, if the SC block was built for big power then the Supras would have came with the same block as a SC but they didn't and Terry has a complete 2JZGTE and Jerome has the GTE block so you can't compare their engines to yours! And you are correct, your goals are your goals but if they are not realistic then I have to say something about them. The only thing to prove here is the reason that we build turbo cars and that's for power ans speed and if you don't believe that then you're not being real with yourself.

And I don't have to be at 700 hp for you, I'm going to race you at 12 psi, which should be at around 525 to 550 hp and that will be more than enough for you.

The third pull on Pines is when you claimed that you were turning it down because of traction. So it's not rocket science that if you just lost at 19 psi then you're definitely going to lose at 16 psi.


IMO, as I said before if Ed's car was really at 19 psi that night then hats off to him because I've seen John's car dyno and I've ran with him and I expected John to leave Ed that night but that wasn't the case.

The only way to settle it would be to run again and see what's up..

P.S. Ed it was 593rwhp not 592rwhp on pump gas. Every little pony counts!

dont worry once i do another compression test next week when changing plugs and i confirm the health is good in all cylinders i will slap on the new turbo and i am praying the cams and john and i can do it again , then you and i but the relic seeing his godlike status is tooo much for me so i will admit i lose by default

Think about it and let me know but regardless the black shall be waiting!

That's fine, but putting the power to the floor is also a factor. That's all I am saying!
