I will look into some 3rd gen RX7 wheels to put some ET Streets on for the track.

As for weight reduction ... I can't tear out the stuff you said because we just had a baby (she is 7 weeks old today) ... and she needs a place to ride

When I raced him, I had 1/2 tank, he had 1/3 tank of gas.

Angel,

By no means do mean to be inflamatory. I know your car will definitely be one to beat. But here is the link - 11.07 at 3,600 elevation? Ok stock fuel - don't remember if it was stock twins but - I think so.

I still think henry will get toasted or burn some rings up pretty quick. But who knows. Either way - I'd have see that one in person.

I'm envious of that kind of traction. I just got tore up at the track today. No track prep, no VHT, cool temps, humid, 2.4 60ft times, 28mph gain in 2nd 1/8th. I had the big club out, swung and came up empty. 13.5@116. A horrible day. This car isn't going to go any faster with 700rwhp. I NEED TRACTION!!!!

Ekool's car has a T70.

The only Stock Twins supras I have seen dip into the 10s were a few brave souls with BIG shots of the laughing gas.

oops - I stand corrected. Duely noted - nevermind Angel. Scott - LSD time? You had fun though didn't ya? I would love that kind of traction as well. I think the LSD and at least drag radials are in order. I'm seriously considering an LSD next before anyting else.

Right now, I'm thinking spool, tubbed, 9" ford rear end, huge M/T drags, etc. j/k. Yeah, an LSD is looking very good now. Unfortunately, the TRD Auto Diff is very hard to get in a hurry. Funny thing, everyone thinks a 13.5 second Lexus is fast. I was embarrassed that something with 500rwhp can possibly go so slow.

On the Colorado car, that was a T70 with PROPANE injection. His launch was nuts, 1-2 before the tree. Damn.

Thumbs up Result of SC300 VS Supra TT

Here is the result we race last night in Hasting farm area at 2:50AM. The outside temperature is about 56F degree. My SC300 Auto runs from 0-145MPH in 23.92 Seconds. Supra TT Smoke my SC300 after about 105MPH. The supra TT passed me by almost two cars when he reached 148MPH at 21.53. I passed the supra 1/2 of the car from started line. I don’t think he can beat my SC300 in 1/4M run time. My SC300 Auto takes off faster than Supra TT 6SP but I cannot keep up with the Supra in high speed. It is like a 150 shot of NOS kicked in at high speed.

Rviscosi on that Supra Board is the guy I am talking about. He lives about 8 minutes from my house (if that). He has a '93 Supra TT with 40k miles, it is beautiful and I am so envious. I am 99% sure that no one has ever matched his stock twins, stock fuel, pump gas 11.53 run. He and I searched the Supra Forum over and never seen it. Regardless ... my car has no where to go but up (or blow up, hehe).
