id call it a bucket but the nova holds that title -
Racing a FWD on the streets in 30 deg weather isn't exactly ideal. Your all of the sudden gonna go .7 faster @ the track because you're lined up against me? Keep in mind I've only made 1 pass @ the track so far w/ a blown HG and a measly 9-10 psi. The motor has since proven itself to hold 15 psi. Bring on the $30k EVO!!

i can see what nick means about not wanting to bother with making a drag car, it isn't very hard to go 10s (with the right parts, of course). if i had more cash to spend, i'd probably be in favor of building up quick daily-drivers. y'know... putting an rb20 into a 240, 4g63 into a sonata, etc...

in a cost/benefit analysis of the situation, i'd much rather spend money on books, games, musical equipment, etc than on a car. -
Just to clarify a few inconsistencies in this thread:
-First off, there aren't many 1kWHP Supra's. Only 3 I can think of
-Second, none of them started life as an NA
-Third, yes, "single" turbo Supra's make more power than stock twin supra's but....
-Fourth, in theory, 2 turbo's (aftermarket) should make more power than 1 aftermarket turbo, all things being equal. But I'm not sure that's actually proven
-Fifth, its not easy going 10's. The only way its "easy" is if you have a ton of cash to dump, which no one on this board does.
-Sixth, Nick's car is sweet, I wouldn't worry about everyone busting your balls, Nick, to build this as a 500+ whp car. Not many people on this board have even gotten in the 12's much less 11's or 10's..

Turboing this car really isn't a priority for me right now. We're expanding to another 1500 sq ft here in January which then gives me the extra space to start doing some larger projects and more production fabrication pieces. W/ that in mind i need to purchase some more equipment. After all that is said and done then maybe just maybe i'll turbo the IS ;-).
