those gears must be slowin you down man It must hurt to have headers (nice ones at that) and still almost be in 14's. I'd be mad if my car ran 14s stock

I have done about 165 going to Vegas.(It was fun messing around with a friend who owned a hopped up Supra, that didn't think the old Camaro could hang). Now that I am married, and have kids, I have grown up. It sure was a rush though. One the track??

lol I'm pretty sure he meant quarter mile wise. And how do you know you've gone 165? I've pegged mine (160) on several occasions, but i thought it would be useless to keep speeding up cuz i didn't know how fast i was going anyway

I ran a 13.51@102 w/1.99 60' with K&N CAI, cutout, LT4 KM, 52mm TB, and a little weight reduction with 2.73's and stock converter.

He went with a big single turbo, not sure what kind it was and also redid the engine. Different cams, better pipeing (replaced all the rubber stuff and had custom pipes made from stainless steel, it was suprising how much the stock stuff would expand). A bunch of suspension and braking stuff. All in all he spent alot of money on the thing. We called him "Supra Mike" it was a white 95 model. Did not hurt that his father owned a BMW dealership. He was a cool dude, that was not afraid to show what he had. At that time I really did not know to much about the Supra, so I really don't have exact specs, but I do know that instead of doing up a twin turbo setup, he just went with a really big single turbo setup. I remember him saying that from a stop he was fast but not as fast as many cars but above 35+ the turbo was spooled up and he was gone. He was really more orentied toward the top end stuff. It was a really sweet ride.
