All of you that are "hoping" to be the fastest...

well, I hope you're not going to be upset at the end of summer when the bar is raised again by the "other" Missouri SC300.

I could have a Lexus with 1200rwhp that runs 7's, but I chose to have a Lexus with 220ish HP that runs 15's or so, and have a 03 M/B CL55 that runs 13's.

Sure would be nice to get a timeslip from any of the Missouri SC300s.... Or Texas SC300s for that matter... They've got a lock on the power, sure, but why no videos? why no timeslips?

Your combo interests me, coming from a Domestic (Primarily GM) background. Did you consider, or what are your thoughts on using a GM overdrive tranny in a SC? For instance a TH-200R4 from the Turbo Regals/Grand Nationals.....

I'm interested to see what is out there in the form of fast auto SC's. If I ever decided to do a swap, it would stay auto. I've got my Vette if I wanna row gears. The Lex is for cruising.

That's kind of what I was thinking. I enjoy the luxury of having an automatic. That's just my opinion.

Looks to me like you'll have to bash the ***** out of the trans tunnel to fit a 200-R4, 700R4, or 4L80E (PF has a customer's Poopra that clicked a 9.9 using an AOD), i'm planning to try to run some decent times on the Toyota automatic, SP can build them nice, the next gen design is supposed to be very strong, should be enough for all but the largest single cars, plus our autos will be spanking these 5spd and 6spd NA-T and GTE swap SC3 guys in the quarter no doubt. Just look at what the faster BPU auto MKIV's run...

There's 3 or 4 videos of my car floating around on the Internet and a couple of Ethan's as well.

The other Missouri turbo SC has gone 11.0's on radials. I've gone 8.0 in the 1/8 but haven't told anyone until now.

your questions are inspiring! My Lexus will be done within the month. I had a little trouble with the RPS manifold and I've had to switch turbos for the 5th time. And...I'm on my 6th transmission!!!

Thought a little about it, but since the TH400's are so abundant and cheaper to build, I bought a couple of them and had one built up. It seems that the truck TH400 with the short tailshaft fits almost perfectly within the Lexus tranny tunnel. I have considered OD trannies but as of now, I'm stuck with the th400. When/if it works out, I'll see how it does around town and on the highway with my rear end.

I mean...all the old boys did it for 20 years...I surely can stand a couple mpg less especially with 720's already.

Gone to a TH400 now, eh Cory, did you pop the Turbo 350? Tell us what kind of mph you're looking for on the new setup + what stall you're using, and links to those vids would be nice, Bo don't know the internet like he know cars...


Cory Mac is back for a track attack ....
