the maxima looks good-- seems like your willing to try anything..
give us some more info..
and heres an update on rdms ttsc400.. the 8 extra fuel injector setup seems to be working well--but in the mean time,, the motor has started to show its age and the abuse it has gotten so far.. at a local track,, it was blowing a bunch of smoke this past weeken--enough for us to pack it up and drive home.. we will be putting in a spare motor i have at the shop so rdm can drive the car this summer..im heading for a couple month vacation,, and i want rdm to drive the car while im gone..
we have some forged pistons--so the motor in the car now will get a rebuild,,and a freshening up, and will get put back in the car when i get back in september.. anyway,, il try and keep an eye on the net to see whats going on.. rdm may get brave and take the spare motor up to the track.. i was able to datalog some afr's,, and it looked pretty good by the last run before we decoded to pack up..

by the way,, i met one more chris-Chris T.- and another chris,DirectorQL- was also at the track.--its nice to see LEXUS represented so well.. i wish rdms motor would have lasted a little more--but believe me when i say im surprised it has lasted this long.. it has definately seen some thrashing..
Here is the video from that day:

Unfortunetly my cameraman sucks. Just kidding. It got real cold and he was in shorts and tshirt. I didn't really try to launch the car and I runned without race gas. This was "REAL STREET RACES" night so no 1/4 mile times for the public.

Chris

PS. I'm in the green SC300TT, then it's Bob with white SC400TT, and Chris T. with the last white SC300T.

Oh man! I like the show and feel the rush from it. I'm currently owning a SC400 and thinking about putting a single turbo on it. Just out of my curiosity as long as for more knowledge, could you tell how many horsepower and a 1/4 mile ET your SC300 has, along with Bob SC400 and Chris SC300?

i can only speak for bobs sc400.. he head previously dynoed at about 375 to the wheels.. the day at the track he did manage a 108 mph-- but the car was smoking up a bunch--especially towards the end of the day.. i was trying a bunch of different tunes for the extra injectors--i was getting close to a good afr-- but the motor had had it.. i will be putting in the spare motor this weekend,, so stay tuned..
