    The Hot Rod Power Tour, Supra Powered Maverick

    could always notch the crossmember, but that's a lot of work... but it might be easier than making a new pan as the only one I know of that has done that is RonR... still say it needs a pre-89 MKIII wing on the back of it...

    Too much torque?

    Please just slap the shit out of your friend... Our cars weigh more than 3rd gen F-bodies for a reason, and it's not JUST the creature comforts. My bro had an '86 T/A with a 350 swap (for the stock 305, but kept the tuned port) and the car was BARELY faster than my car was stock. His...

    Auto Tranny Cold Shift Mode? Hard Shifting

    autos always shift a bit odd when cold... it's the nature of the beast. you shouldn't be hard on the car until it's warmed up anyway...

    Help choosing new air filter

    The best filter is paper...but it doesn't flow for crap. The last test I saw was on an STi, and the HKS filter LOST power over the stock airbox, and overall the best one was the ARC airbox. Too bad finding one is a major pain and it doesn't fit the 7M...

    The only problem here is he has already reproduced...

    E85 and Ethanol/Methanol. The ins & outs of AFR's

    I sure hoep you meant a loss of 10-20 miles per TANK, as miles per gallon I'd be in the negatives LOL Forced induction will really benefit since you'll be able to up the boost a lot more to get the proper cylinder pressures to take advantage of the fuel. Ask dok33 about it a bit and see...

    Exhaust size?

    not to mention the RSR is probably the loudest of the main brands, with the Blitz nur spec a close second... as already mentioned, backpressure doesn't exist, it's velocity and the scavenging effects of it... The downpipe, and really more importantly the elbow are the worst restrictions...

    stock clutch power capabilities?

    I can MAYBE see getting it done quick with two people working on it that are good at it. But you're forgetting the throwout bearing assembly which in itself takes a while... Stock clutch is crap LOL Right around 5K miles on 8 PSI and a bit of racing and it was toast...

    Bosch Super Plus Coppers Any Good?

    The Bosch platinum +4's ran great in my truck...cause they take a LOT to foul out. Ran like crap, but always ran... Such is not the case with a supra, plugs are pretty important with forced induction.

    oil pan gasket blewout!!! WTF?!?!?!?!?!

    I don't think the N/A's have the check valve in the TB that the turbo TB does... might want to add a PCV check valve...

    smack talk

    Ok, fine, my car has dents, but at least it's one damn color... It's also a DD and most of my money goes into what matters for a DD, the mechanicals... Many of the MKIV's have more in the chroming/polishing of the engine bay that we have in our whole cars, so anything they say honestly goes...

    TX2K8 pic thread. This is going to take a minute even on broadband.

    Not a lot of that after what happened down there... Let's just say that the local street racing task force was out all the time at night looking for reasons to arrest people...
