Tom,

"Any idea what the 0-60 times would be ? I think a Viper's time is sub 4.5."

I just dug up a '93 brochure for the Supra (http://www.mkiV.com/specifications/93_brochure/1993promo.jpg) and it lists it doing 4.6 and 13.1@109mph. This thing was putting out way more power then the 320hp it came with stock. If I could have easily gotten to a spark plug wire (the Japanese really know how to have hoses and wires run all over the place!) I would have Road Dynoed it but I didn't want to dig around too much under the hood.

My brother wanted to race me for pink slips.

I said OK but only if I get to pick the course. ;) Think NO straights and lots of dangerous curves since he didn't know the car at all and with the way the boost comes on he'd be really timid on corners. He didn't want anything to do with that.

Shawn
