    supra vs ls1 camaro

    At about 300rwhp stock, they can run high 12's on street tires. A Supra needs about 500rwhp it seems to run 12's. No really, you need more power than he has. And a broader curve, which with our displacement you won't get. Removing about 700 lbs would help.

    Exhaust header wrap on the downpipe?

    I bought a set of headers for a different car. They came that way, it wasn't something I did. There are other cars besides the Supra you know. ;) But I remember a thread about having them coated, and the temp drops. It was pretty good.

    Exhaust header wrap on the downpipe?

    I have had headers coated instead of wrapped. That worked too, so I don't know about your opinion there. I could touch the manifold while running. Not for very long of course.

    Exhaust header wrap on the downpipe?

    Dubs recomends ceramic coating, which of course costs more plus time, but is more effective.

    In the long run, suck ass players lose money.

    Top Speed

    IJ, Toyota said the 7MGE Supra with a 5 speed is only good for 131 mph when they did their testing. You are correct, it just doesn't have the balls to push to redline or fuel cut. For future refrence... RPM= gear ratio x diff ratio x mph x 336/ tire diameter That will give you a close...

    Ring gap confusion

    Putting SAE 30 engine oil on the cylinder wall is not a good idea, for the reasons you were given.

    What other forums do you visit?

    Here mostly, others not as much. On the Corral, hardly any more at all.

    Toggle switch for ABS.

    ABS is to prevent wheel lockup during hard braking, specifically on turns. It isn't for racing, it just helps almost every driver.

    I need a special A/C fitting

    Did you look for an R-12 elbow yet? Then put the R-134 adapter on it.

    7m-gte power band

    A vent to atmosphere will not improve your performance. Don't waste your money.

    How important is the vac line running from the accordian pipe...

    If it doesn't affect it, why is it there? It prevents possible stalling when you load the engine without accelerating it.

    HONEST Head bolt torque

    I have an idea. Just make shit up as you go when you post. Or repeat somebody else's nonsense.

    rod knock or valve shimming needed?

    Valve lash does not sound like rod knock. But then again some people think injector clicking is rod knock.

    Toggle switch for ABS.

    Actually, it was determined a long time ago. Since no human can pump a break pedal 10-15 times in one second, you are not as faster as the actuator. Quit thinking you are. As in anybody that thinks they can outperform it. Braking distance isn't even the primary function. It allows you to...

    At least the drift morons keep it entertaining around here...

    The thing I don't get about these retards is why they think they invented it, and why they changed the name to drifting.
