Not much else that can said that hasn't been said. I did notice your brake lights were very brite on the ground even during daylight hours, LED? or was it darker than the video shows?

Thanx man, Basically hold the brake real tight and hit the gas in drive of course, than let go of the brake.

One comment though, watching your launch, it looks like you need a higher stall speed converter.It seems like your sitting on it while waiting for the boost to climb a bit before launching. You shouldnt have to sit on it that long, you will end up frying that converter. I know this problem well, I have swapped my converter 3 times now in hunt for the "right" stall.

Beautiful car bro!!
As Usual, your right on the money, I need a stall spd bad to get better launches, I don't that very often cuz I know i'm hurting more than anything but once in a while for fun is ok. I've spoken to a couple guys have this set up and they have been using 3200 stall, what do you think? Also I could boost up a little faster its just that I lurked her slow instead if slamming the pedal down to boost, but its still slow no matter what. Thanx for the words.

I was waiting for you to chime in..LOL I have done the front floor shot many times but I saw your rear floor shot and had to try it. Thats what this site is about, sharing ideas even when it comes to taking pics of our cars..

Awsome! I have been looking for a 2JZ-GTE over here. Found a few but can't justify changing out an engine with only 11K at present in storage. Have an 03 300

Youre running stock twins correct?

A few things to think about......where does your boost start to come on (what rpm's)? The idea is to come off the line already coming into boost, so that should give you an idea on where you need to be at.

A 3200 stall speed should be a good "streetable" stall speed. When you start playing with different turbo set ups, that may change a bit. THere really is no 1 answer on stall speed, the converters are going to react a little differently with different set ups. I changed my converter speed 3 times to try to get it dead on. I havent installed the 3rd one yet, but Im shooting for around 3200-3400 stall speed. Most companies will adjust the stall speed for you to get it right. Joe at Pro Torque has been great about doing it for me (at no charge).

Looks "fantaxic" as usual, 'blue. Lovin' how glossy your SBM looks on the car. The paint seems to be in great shape.

Always glad to see one of my blue homie's rides out, about, and big pimpin'!
