Will you be running at Desoto Speedway in Bradenton?

BTW- I think I could take you in my GS430 if I reset my ECU and remove the spare tire

OK I just read this whole thread and only one person that I can see has even asked what kind of motor is in here... but they didn't get their question answered.

So what is it? What kind of transmission? What type of power adder(s) and of what output/spec?

Simply awesome.

But I need to know how it was done darnit!

The engine is 2jz-gte. Motec system all the way. The rest Justin have to answer them. Sometimes drag racer don't want people to know their set up.

Well, the car is 2JZ powered, has a triple disc titanium East West clutch, Gforce GF2000 transmission, Carbon fiber driveshaft, 78mm Turbonetics turbo, 5'' downpipe, HKS manifold, Hogans sheet metal intake, Sparco air to water intercooler, Motec M800, Motec CDI, Racepak V300, and Lots of carbon fiber. The car is making about 1400RWHP. We still have lots to figure out, still trying to dial in the chassis. Best this weekend 7.51 at 184, made it to the finals against my good friend Paul Efantis. But lost to him 7.49 to a 7.61. We are on our way to Pomona now for the NHRA world finals this weekend. Hope to see some of you there. Thanks again everyone.
