This is to Ernie T.

Ernie,
Your car is the ****, simply put. I talked with you a couple of times during the summer at Cecil and MIR. Each time you were untuned but you still whopped ***. You kinda hinted you were gonna do more stuff, but damn last weekend at MIR you were had a lot more **** then I expected. I love seeing supras get their asses handed to them by someone with a car that still costs less with all its mods then their supra cost stock. My girlfriends brother and my good friend have supras and they talk **** to me all the time about them kicking my *** in an RX7. You definately shut them the hell up, thank you. They both have over 400 hp to the wheels and well over 45k invested and can't even brake into the 12's. You are awesome and I hope my FD will be like yours by the summer.

45k invested and have 400 hp to the wheels. Yet they cant break into the 12's. What the hell are your friends smoking??Does that include the price of the car? With 45k on a Supra I can send it to Powerhouse and make probably around 1000RWHP and still have money left over!! It just doesn't make any sense!!!

Yeah I think he means with the price of the car. My friend just did his own single kit on his otherwise stock 93 TT supra and ran 11.80@120 last weekend. He is a little different though.....he has less than $25,000 in his and runs 11's and still looks better than most

Don't think he'll hang with me when I get my car back though.....or so I keep telling him and myself

That sounds about right!! And your friend should be able to get down to low 11's or maybe even high 10's, depending on what kind of turbo he is using!!

Joe,
I havn't turned the boost up yet...:p When I go Haltech in the spring, I'll run 10's all day. As for lag, I have less now then when I was non-sequential. And yes, it was worth every dime. Also, you say its only .4, but thats alot considering my turbo wasn't even working. You would need to push the stock twins to their brink of destruction to run 11.4. I was pretty consisntant running high 11's with stock turbos, but like I said thats pushing them to their limits.
Now with the single, not only does it not take such a toll on the motor, but my water temps have droped 15degrees Celcius.
Ernie
