    500 horses power for street of New York City
    dude what's the matter with you. are you joking? drag racing should take place in a closed environment, and nowhere else. i think you should sell your cars and buy an xbox with need for speed underground on a plasma screen.

    The Toyota Supra Turbo Stock has 320. In its american form it is highly detuned. By Adding Chip; Exhaust; Cams; Wastegates; Twin Turbo; and some other goodies I cant remember you can get about 503 HP out of them. My neighbors kid has one and its pretty insane. We hear him come home every night from about a quarter mile away. Other than that its an impressive piece of tuned machinery.- JT

    Default I seriously would like to learn more about these things,

    in my mind I cant see anything that light hooking up at any speed let alone being a drag racer. I know they can produce a LOT of power but to have them hook without blowing the tires off and utalizing that power makes then severley unsafe to drag with let alone "drag race on the street". Especially in street tire trim, maybe I'm too old and dont understand the power to weight concept any more.

    Front drive + 500HP = spin.

    the toyota supra is rwd.... =]

    1. my tt is currently stock, but i want to improve its performance. what should i do?
    glad to hear you're ready to "really" join the tt club! we have found that the tt responds very well to the following list of basic performance upgrade s (bpus). these upgrades are proven (by us naturally!!) to have a high degree of reproducibility from car to car if you install all of the following:
    exhaust system (most of the major brand name exhausts are fine)
    downpipe with or without high flow catalytic converter (rod millan, speedtek, random technology, stillen, uprd, powerhouse & spp)
    ebc or mbc (electronic/manual boost controller), not boost controllers w/ fuzzy logic (e.g.. profec a and hks evc)
    fuel cut defenser (greddy bcc - highly recommended by the mkiv.com members. read why hks fcd is the same as the ffcd (using the hks fcd or the ffcd is only recommended if you have the ttc mod and 12v mod)
    with the bpu installed, you can expect to obtain approximately 370-410 rear wheel horsepower (rwhp). damn, you gotta love the supra tt!!

    you will also want to install a boost gauge to monitor how much boost you are running. obviously running more boost is going to decrease the life of your turbos (by how much is not really known) so you will want to watch this. a few turbos don't last long at all at higher than stock boost levels, but most seem to take the increased boost just fine. most people think the best trade off is no more than 18 psi although some have had success and longevity with higher boost. a conservative number would be to run 15 psi low boost with occasional runs to 17 psi if you get an ebc that is easily adjustable on the fly. even with a supra, you gotta be willing to pay to play...
    supra's are very good at making big power and they look pretty good

    The Supra TT is also a fairly heavy RWD car. BTW - the engine is so highly modifiable and reliable there are more than a few e34 Owners that have put the Supra Engines in their 5's. I have seen a couple of Boards that are dedicated to this subject. Not that I would - but we probably shouldnt besmirch things we dont completely understand - JT
