No, I don't think it is mine. I think it may be one of the East Coast folks; however, I know there are one off kits out there. Mine only has engine upgrades, fuel upgrade, tranny swap, MoTec and a bunch of suspension parts. The oddest thing I have in the car is not the gauges, but a little red button located on the left side of the steering wheel. I was told it was suppose to "turn on" the second fuel pump when running the "boost" at excess of 15psi.

Otherwise, I understand EmoDragRacer has a built 2JZ-GTE shortblock with Haltech standalone engine management.

Any others?

Freelance, dt1313 , UnVme, and GTE are the ones that have the most done. All have 6spds(Freelance in the process) and UnVme and Dan have competition systems. Needless to say all have extensive engine work and GTE obviously has the GTE swap.

800whp is a lot of power. I have yet to dyno my IS 300. I was told it was around 600. I'll dyno the car in a month or so and see what I crank out.

well it all depends on what you want to take into consideration.... Mr.Mark althought he has boost, is not close to the HP that alot of us want. 600 plus...he has a very clean stereo setup and that is gettin revamped to be full on..also he is a make a TRUE wide BODY kit.. all replacement fenders, quarterpanels, doors ect..if you want to say all around the wildest I would have to nominate him after his car is complete... till then Turbo Dan.. DT1313 takes the cake..crazy system...683rwhp, brembo's,iforged wheels, built motor, ect...

Does DT1313 use a GTE or GE block and 683rwhp on pump gas? I'm guessing he has a Toyomoto Stage 5.5 kit?

Am I correct when saying it is used as a piggy back (I think that is what you guys call it on the other side of the pond) unit?

I think it is a full stand alone system, maybe I am mistaken. The piggy backs would be something like a VPC, AFC or the like
