My friend Supra's use to own the 1mile before it was popular and held the 1mile record for many years. Only when the Ford GT's and lambo's came out that crown was taken and not by much! Only the GT crushed everyone. In all those years of Supra's on top 240mph + I never saw one flip, but they are almost ideal for high speed runs! Small front areas, larger rear end for stability the car is almost aerodynamically perfect for that type of runs. They had many huge HP domestic frustrated (vipers,Vettes etc) for a long time! I don't think even up to now with the mega $$ 911 builds that a 911 has taken down a Supra mph from almost 10yrs ago! And we are talking very clean machines like SW's etc.

Again Supra's with their huge HP has been doing this a lot longer on top then any other.

Maybe you didn't know so I forgive you, as Supra's were most of my car life since ....forever!!

 

Think I remember you from the RX7club boards. The 7s were a great car and hooked very well. I went from stock to upgraded twins, a TO4R and finally the LS1. My favorite ended up being the LS though as, even though it made less power than the single, it was just easier to drive and I loved the low end grunt. Never dragged both of them in similar conditions so not sure which was actually 'faster' with the different power bands.

 

Yeah, I still lurk around there every once in awhile.

The LS2 in my last FD was great, though I do enjoy a properly boosted 13b-rew

 

Pffft 20B is where its at..... otherwise you not beating Subarus from a dig

 

- Wish I still had my AutoEXE 20b. Thing was mint.

 

was it too laggy tho?

 

This weekend I assisted in the install of the IPD plenum and Y pipe on my 2012 997.2 TTS.
The benefits were immediately noticeable and my butt dyno can tell the car is definitely pulling stronger. For any considering this mod you can feel comfortable with the purchase as IPD offers a full money back guarantee if you are not satisfied. The owner of IPD is a great guy named Turbo Mike and he is extremely knowledgable about these cars and a real pleasure to deal with. Two thumbs up for Turbo Mike and IPD!

 

Any data to substantiate or just butt dyno?

 

My butt dyno is pretty good.
That being said the car will be going to bbi next week for some service and additional mods.
We will be doing before and after dyno runs so I will post our findings and results.

 

I'll be doing some 1/2 mile pulls and data logs later this month. I'll see if the 60-130 times improved.
