Awesome Sarge. Wish I could've seen it in person.

Default I forget exactly, but they had to install an auxiliary fuel pump to get enough fuel pressure.

So I have two fuel pumps. They used the RS4 fuel rails and other assorted bits. Pretty sure they kept the stock fuel lines from tank to motor...

Default rebuilt ar 6M tranny. Flares were a rip-off from Hoppen, you can get them else where for 1/3 cost...

I found that out after they were already painted and installed. Hoppen raped me to the tune of $1800 for four fiberglass fender flares, and proceeded to try to stick me with wrong offset wheels that were similarly overpriced.

I don't think Hoppen is even an official MTM rep, as their pricing is WAY above what shipping and exchange rates would account for vs the euro mtm site...

You can get the flares for $599 from the place in the link. Never done business with them, so who knows, but the price is right, at least by comparison.

Oddly, their site wasn't working just now, so hope it does soon. Was up the other day...<ul><li><a href="http://www.estrictlyforeign.com/">"estrictlyforeign"</a></li></ul>

719WHP=900CHP? Isn't that a lot of loss? Doesn't the DT loss curve or diminish with more power?

It's bored and stroked. 3.0 Crank, 2.8 heads and a very tiny bit of boring.

Default A GT60 on a supra probably needs nitrous to spool below 7500 rpms.

I've seen quite a few 800+ WHP #s on 400 ci or more ford/chevy turbo motors running 93 octane.

Default That's my plan too, except I plan on going with different rods

and I plan on doing a few different coatings to reduce friction as well as add heat coatings.
