thats awesome........so what time did you run in the 1/8th? im assuming very low 8's or high 7's..........my car with my mods should be pretty deep in the 12's as it sits, assuming I could drive it right........Im sittin right around 330awhp and 330 lb/ft........next mod is alky........28 psi baby!

I was actually planning on taking it to the strip this or next weekend, but seeing as I now have an issue...I cant.

I am hoping for mid 13's my FIRST time out, and just getting lower from there.

I LOVE MKIV Supras...........however i hate the "lagginess" of monstrous turbos //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

dude good luck trying to control a car that fast but shit why dont you just buy a viper, twin centrifugal supercharger, obviously slicks 13" or bigger, take out all the uneccesary shit (seats, spare tire, ect.), replace all body pannels with carbon fiber (BUT PAINT IT THOUGH, I HATE THAT ******* LOOK), get the motor bluprinted, balanced, perfectly tuned by a pro, and if your gonna drag it only new gears. and why the **** dude ur parents give you that kinda money you lucky *****, my ******* car was 100 plus a new ****** when it blew and dont go *****in about your lil M3 being too slow cuz its faster than anything most people will EVER have.

HKS or somebody made a really fast wtin turbo R32. I think the turbo kit was like $8 grand, but that doesn't seem like it would be a lot of money to you if you have $200,000 to spend on a car.

It was HPA and they had over $41k in engine work on thier Twin Turbo R32. Thier stageI which is just a single turbo is around $8k i think...

Here's my input: sine you're going for an EVO which is a very good car, especially on the 4g63 platform. Get the MR, send it to AMS, you should be looking to spend no more than 20-25k to make that a 9-10 sec car. 30k for car + 25k for mods = $55k in money well spent. Just make sure you send 25K my way so I can finish my project. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

A gutted pinto (mustang works too, but a little heavier) with a turbo 2.3L, t3/t4 hybrid turbo, front intercooled, big fuel pump, ported intake and exhaust, 3" exhaust, and slicks.

That, with some tuning can get you sub 11's for less than 10k, to look sweet it would probably be closer to $20k.

Not that you'd ever go that route with an unlimited budget, but with the right car, money is less of an issue than time an know-how. An AWD is definitely the WRONG car to put down crazy numbers at the strip. It's as logical as trying to make an off road beast out of a new vette.

An old nova would work better. Cheap,light,good engine room. Or a chevette I've heard.

All you need is a budget motor for 5k, a rearend for 3k, and a ***** for 4k, and then the car.

AWD=worst strip idea ever.
