RWHP can be tricky in several ways. #1 you have the type of dyno used to measure the power, #2 you have power delivery. A car with 400 peak rwhp @ 4500rpm and 300 rwhp @ 7000rpm will be slower than a car with 350rwhp from 4500-up. The one thing i've learned from my time in japan is do not get caught up in the numbers game. I've seen 400hp cars here that would beat 600+ hp cars in the states. It's a weird thing. My soarer only has 455hp, but i've beat 500+ hp cars that are lighter...
which is the price you paying for wanting to make 8-or 900 at the wheels efficiently. The power is also very usable but only in two places, at the track, and on the highway. There is a reason why we have 8 second full wheight supras on stock suspension running around :P

With 315 drag radials on the back it holds pretty well in 3rd gear, the first two.... 
I think im gonna make the car TTC and get rid of the sequential system to make the power more linear instead of a random rocket. I want to replace all the bushings and possibly get some stiffer bushings for the rear so i can eliminate the wheel hop. When i get a tune and turn up the boost, i expect to be around 450rwhp. It does have Supra TT brakes and a TT 6pd rear.

The car has HKS Hipermax Drag coilovers and its setup perfect but with the 17 drag radials it hops. In our supras we always put poly/stiffer bushings in the rear to eliminate wheel hop. But the ideal setting for drag racing is stiff front, and soft rear=best weight transfer and also keeps the front end from going down and destroying your et. The car needs new front and rear bushings so i'll have to experiment.

Nice car! It really is beautiful! Lucky for you with the 6spd, lol. I'm still on the hunt for one! What size piping is that? Is the cold side piping bigger in diameter than the hot side? Also, are you running US spec twins, or JDM twins? Post up some pics of your interior, and the dyno chart too!

Your best bet with the 6spd is to just do it yourself. Highly unlikely you find one that someone has parted with. And this thread is really old who knows what his car looks like now
