I just had to make the same decision, & I'm rebuilding a 7M. After thinking over both options (rebuilt 7m or used 1j), I decided that I would have to rebuild the 1j too because of my perfectionistic ways, so why not just stick with a 7m.

1j Supra clip is $2200-3000 whereas a 2j & 6 speed is around $5500. After you buy the 2j you spend more money picking up the bits & peices to finish the installation. My prices may be off as I going off of memory

I've heard that it could handle a lot, but the exact number evades me.

This one is easy. Money

Looks nice Kelly, but it sucks knowing a chick has a faster car than me. :biglaugh:

Another one here. :icon_bigg

cool, take a lot of pics as you go

LOL, but they do look pretty:biglaugh:

Florida tags? I thought you live in Oregon....

Exactly, 98% that have them aren't using them for what they were designed for. Nothing but show.

I recommend that you do a lot more research & solidify your goal before you drop any money. You can't get 450rwhp with a 57 trim, so you need to rethink the path you're going to take. Just my .02

Thanks for raining on my parade. :biglaugh: I'm still happy with my purchase.

Why would anyone that wants to drive on the street want that much power? Maybe I'm just getting old, but that just f'n nuts.

AEM only to to get rid of the AFM? There a MAFT instead. With your upgrade ideas, you're looking at 430rwhp max, so AEM is not on the sensible side. Stick with your SAFC & save yourself $1000 plus.

I saw that one, but I think it's missing the steel friction surface, so it woud end up costing you more. Am I wrong? :icon_conf

If you're looking for a stand alone EMS then yes, AEM is considered one of the best & it does get rid of the AFM. The SAFC will not be needed as it scales (or fools) the AFM signal before it reaches the factory ECU. Since the AEM replaces the ECU & the AFM, there's no need to scale the AFM...

I've nailed some excellent deals on Ebay lately. Here's my latest.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8013101159&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBI%3AIT&rd=1 :icon_surp

From what I've read, Dr Jonez is working on monitoring the timing & possibly controlling it later. You should read his "MAFT Pro is working" thread, lots of good info.

Let me be the first in this thread to say that the A430 sucks ass. I have spent a lot on money to find that out. I had mine rebuilt (shoving a lot more clutches & friction plates in it, too) & I fragged it after less than 2k miles, and i'm not pushing more than 300rwhp. Do yourself a favor...

17 lbs of boost on that set up? I'll say you'll frag the motor before 2005 is over.
