    TotalSeal Top Rings, any comments?

    Tom, I'm not sure how good they are for boosted SBC Chevy applications but I personally know of 3 boosted cars that ran Total Seal rings (2 Supras and a Nissan) that were built by 3 different people that had ring problems from the get go. All 3 of these cars then got conventional rings and had...

    RACED A SUPRA

    OUCH! That sucks I spoke to Joel throughout the weekend but didn't talk to him after his last pass. Do you know what kind of RPM he was running? I'm assuming pretty high due to the 2 speed tranny?!?!? Guilly <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted...

    RACED A SUPRA

    Russ, saw him (Joel) run, the car did well but the track couldn't handle the power well. He ran a few 10.1's at ~120 to 125 MPH (obviously letting off early). As far as the cars not being fast, a big portion of that is due to the drivers. But I do not disagree with you. <BLOCKQUOTE><font...

    RACED A SUPRA

    Jamie, please accept my apologies, you are 100% correct. Prior to this LT5 character posting lies I would never mention anything non Viper related on the forum, after all I am here because I love Vipers. But his continous lies and now saying he owns a Supra (which makes all Supra owners look...

    RACED A SUPRA

    I thought you were not going to post again....... And I have had a few Viper owners email me telling me they do not buy your story of owning either a Supra or even a ZR1. Lines like this "(becuase its not inline with how you "FEEL" about your cars'" shows you don't own a Supra if you did it...

    RACED A SUPRA

    Yeah you shut down my points before. Like the lie about the upgraded intake manifolds to make 800 HP. No Supra owner would make a claim like that... My supposed #'s happened in front of hundreds of supposed people For the record there are several people on this forum that have met me...

    427 CI TT Lingenfelter Vette

    Very impressive indeed. And I'm sure you are right, auto cars launch much better. I would assume from that ET and MPH that the car got ~ 1.40 60 foot time. Does anyone know what the 60 foot time was? <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by EuG: [B]

    RACED A SUPRA

    Onerare, it's not a matter of "if" but rather "when" when it comes to me getting a Viper I have wanted a GTS since it came out in 96. LT5, sure you own a Supra. I can post a pic of a McLaren F1, I guess that makes me an F1 owner! Of course you haven't even posted a pic and all your posts...

    427 CI TT Lingenfelter Vette

    Very impressive! Was that all boost or does that Vette have NOS?

    RACED A SUPRA

    Actually he doesn't own a ZR1 or a Supra And I will soon have a Viper, hopefully I'll be able to afford modding it to 700+ RWHP. For the record I'm here to learn more and read about Vipers, but when I see ignorant posts I decide to correct them, notice none of my posts say the Supra is better...

    RACED A SUPRA

    I know of about 2 dozen 700+ RWHP Supras and only 1 of them has an upgraded intake manfold, in fact at the Las Vegas Supra meet, the largest Supra meet in the world, there weren't ANY Supras (out of ~100 MKIV's there) with an upgraded intake manifold, they are RARE in the US. As far as...

    RACED A SUPRA

    Actually for ~$10K you can get the RIGHT parts that won't blow up the motor, this is not including labor. This does take into account getting good prices (not cost). Most people spend more because they are paying close to retail. Of course labor will add to it quickly. To get 800+ RWHP by just...

    RACED A SUPRA

    I see LT5 is once again trying to impress everyone with wrong information. You do not need cam sprockets/gears, cams or a custom intake manifold to make 800+ to the wheels on a Supra. My own car has a 100% stock intake manifold and throtle body. As far as 800+ RWHP, it takes ~10K in parts on...

    9.92 @ 150 Video

    I don't like Honda's but that Neon is not the fastest in it's class. The fastest FWD Honda runs an 8.0X at ~175 MPH, it's likely to break into the 7's this season.

    1087 rw hp Viper

    Please don't take any of my comments as meaning that I believe the Supra to be superior to the Viper, they both have their plusses. An you are 100% right, 100% stock the Viper is quite a bit faster. I happen to love both cars and will get a Viper when my finances allow me to get one and keep my...

    1087 rw hp Viper

    You are truly funny Now the JGTC is setup so only a Supra or Skyline can win, never mind that anything Toyota or Nissan can do any other manufacturer can also do to their cars. For the record the fastest lap ever recorded at Lemans was done by a Toyota, food for thought...... Oh and nobody...

    1087 rw hp Viper

    Not only is the tranny in the Supra stronger but the ZF tranny on the ZR1 you wished you owned is also stronger than the Vipers. In fact by your logic the Viper tranny must not be that tough as it's the same tranny as the Camaro/Firebirds that were in the low 300 foot pound range use. As far as...

    Centrifugal SC's makes less midrange HP and torque than turbos because they only have peak boost at redline. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by SnakeBitten: [B]

    1087 rw hp Viper

    Snake, the Supra is indeed overbuilt, you can definitely break parts but they are tough. I believe SW's car is on a stock bottom end, tranny and rear end, as is my car. As far as I know the same is true of HMS's TT Viper. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana...

    1087 rw hp Viper

    So lets see, you have not driven a Supra like you describe, also you know very little about the Supra as it has a stronger Getrag tranny than the Viper/Camaro BW T56 and also a tougher rear end and halfshafts. Lastly you didn't say what your 13 second car runs..... BTW I love Vipers, and will...

    1087 rw hp Viper

    My car drinks only a mix of ~40% 101 octane and ~60% 91 octane as I have a gas station less than 5 miles away (I don'r own the station) with 101 at the pump. The car ran the #'s listed that way. So basically my car on the street runs the same way as it does on the track, so it's a 10 second car...

    1087 rw hp Viper

    The question is, what does your OWN car actually run? A few more questions, have you ever driven a 700+ RWHP Supra? No? Then you are once again talking out of your a$$.... Seems my own car doesn't do too bad even on drag radials..... <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana...

    Congrats! Quite a beast you got there

    1087 rw hp Viper

    CONGRATULATIONS John! That is flat out AMAZING! That thing must be a blast to drive You definitely need to take that beast to the track in that state of tune and bust some 9's @ 150+ MPH!

    Is John H. Going to race Norm K's TT LPE ZR-1 or what????????

    Re: Is John H. Going to race Norm K\'s TT LPE ZR-1 or what???????? What Supra would that be John? SW's? When are you taking that beast back to the track? Running 12 PSI in all gears 9's and 150 MPH are probably not going to be a problem
