That is was the whole point. You don't need to because it's already done when you get the car. Even so, you show me any kit(no Nos) that you can get 400rwhp out of ls1 for $300 bucks.

if you want to go cheaper, use an iron block "LS1" and punch it out to 7 liters...that'll get the turbos spoolin' up nice and quick! but that deviates from the original comaprison anyways...sorry.
in all honesty, though, i think a 1000+hp streetcar is pretty ridiculous either way you go about it.
Trying to stay on topic here...nice job to the guy in the TA.
Happy Halloween!

the 2jz was made to make power
thats why people who wants to build high hp with these engines ALWAYS suceed because it comes easy..
this video shows that the other car had more power..wow, that means nothing..
if you look through the net for supra videos..90% of them show them whipping the other car's ***..simple as that..
engine is amazing

American cars can't handle...waaah. Thats all i ever hear from you import dudes. I happen to love ALL cars, and i can see the strength and weaknesses in diffrent cars, and it is documented that 3rd and 4th gen Fbods CAN handle very well from the factory, and even more so when set up properly. Remember, not only imports can handle.

So what did that Trans Am have? 800 whp? It would have to have a good amount if the Supra was 600 and it walked it like that. Why does everyone argue. If a car weighs about the same amount, and has a lot more horsepower, it will walk a car just liek that. What is the big deal. Let a high hp Supra run that Trans Am and see if the result is the same. No sir.

I actually like TA's, but not those models.

You wouldn't because you are a hillbilly and can't look outside in. The trailer park that is.

The updated specs on the 85's through 92's is what most of us 3rd gen guys look for, some of those early ones didin't even come with rear sway bars.
Please tell me we're not going to have a pissing contest on the handling of 3rd gen F-body vs an FD. I think that ship sailed about 12 years ago.

That IROC is running 245 / 50 / 16 tires.
The FC is running 205's...maybe 225's.
The FC will run RINGS around an IROC when you talk about overall handling.
The IROC underdamped and too front heavy.
