    Finally got my Supra on the road course.....

    What are the specs on those wheels, I love them. I have some 03 Saleen wheels right now, not on the car of course that I dont like at all. I want some wide ones similar to your setup. Whats the offset, the brand and the tire size? Did you have to roll the fenders or do anyother modifications...

    SBC 406 in a Supra ? ?

    This is a great way to make a supra way more reliable. It wont be as fun though. I would have gone this route myself but after I was in a high hp supra i fell on love. People should always try new things to be unique and as long as your satisfied with the results, who cares what others say or think.

    Cummins Holset hx-55

    Yeah It is a great turbo if my flanges get finished (hint hint John) mine should be done in the next couple of weeks. I got mine for free my dad had it around his shop not too many miles on it. Free sounds like a good price.

    For everyone that works on you own Supra!

    spun bearing, can this rod work?

    Take your gte rods to a reputable machine shop they should be able to resize your rods for a good price. When they resize the rod they take it back down to std. size no oversized bearing is needed. Only when they machine the crank do you need oversized bearings. I did this recently came out...
