Congrats, very impressive numbers man..I see the Viper Spec T56 is holding up, is that T56 a bone stock Viper type, or has it been modified any? Well good luck on your next trip man.

svt2slow said:Just a lil insight into the world of imports i use to own one and my friends still do...therefore i have a lil bit of knowledge about them. A guy at SOUND PERFORMANCE in Chicago has a supra and wanted to blow up the motor so he threw it on the dyno with his mods all on and turned the boost up to 50 and let it rip. He proceeded to make 1491 wheel horsepower...stock block...and it is still running 8's on a regular basis. Might i also add that was full weight car with stock interior plus the weight of the cage. No tubs for slicks=incredible smoke shows everywhere. Not trying to knock you import haters but just recognize they dont call it a super car for no reason. And also i Do own a lightning so dont think i am a just an import guy. Any more questions...be sure to bring your A game to the table. :beer: :cuss: :rockon: :burnout: :banana: :bowdown:
jasil said:Who freaking cares!! Engines are engines and once built they are all about the same and displacement will always end up winning in the end. They have 3.0 liters making 1500rwhp, 5.0 liter dart blocks pushing 2000rwhp, so what. Big blocks pushing over 3000rwhp who cares.
There is nothing special about a 2jz engine in built form. Inline blocks have some strength advantages over V shaped blocks, but the trade off is packaging. You jump all over these supra owners nut sacks, but they have 2 liter engines putting out over 1000rwhp too. Jotechs car, Johansons, Kubo's. They have 5.0 DART blocks putting out 2000rwhp, Big blocks putting out over 3000rwhp in the end displacement wins. Marko's car is fast as hell!! Faster than anything I will ever own I'm sure. His best is what 8.42@165mph around that. Gutridges Drag radial mustang runs 7'[email protected]'s Ls1 based Drag radials Fbod runs 7.60's@over 185mph...does that take away from Marko's car...HEL NO, but in the end displacement will win it all comes down to physics in the end.
How many runs do you think any of engine will last pushing 400-500rwhp per liter? None of them any make or model will last for very long and none of these cars are street cars when your pushing that kind of HP/Liter.
lxboy said:good post. I would also like to through in my two cents here, lets not forget the fact that wolverine can turn his boost down to 20psi and if tuned and pulled to past 5000 on a dyno jet probobly still make 900+rwhp on PUMP GAS. What would all those magical supras pull with 93 in the tank?
svt2slow said:anyway not knockin your car i like it sick numbers. As a matter of fact i am gonna be getting a 98 or so cobra instead of the lightning. and would like for you to maybe share with me some of your insight on turbo'in the 4.6 i really don't know much about turbo'n stangs or any domestic for that matter.
