So we agree on power delivery, area under the hp and torque curves and number of failure points. So it's just cost and reliability that you still think a 7m has better than an LSx. Well since i have yet to see a true list for either build in terms of actual parts and actual cost. There was a...

If I'm going to ask Chevy, then let's just look at what motor they're using. And I don't mean driven by performance, I mean driven, like pushing the car, driving at the limits, etc. You're an idiot if you do this on the street. You're logic is horrible. You don't mind lag because you...

So the 89+ solid bars might be the same as the JZA70 bars? If so, that would save me some time. If not, I would still like to get my hands on a set of 89+. I know there's a couple local, so I'm hoping to find one of them before getting someone to ship them, but we'll see. Doward and...

I didn't mean for it to be horsepower dependent, it's a turbo car though, so it needs to be considered with reliability. But they're needed for a 500hp car, just like any turbo car, so they're considered. If we're talking about street cars, then why do you need a 500hp street car? Just to...

Syst, awesome plots, now let's find a 500hp 7m plot and overlay them. And the benefits should be pretty obvious. Nosechunks, I don't mean that everything else is going to have problems, but they are possible points of failure. I mean if you go off course, you could put a hole in the...

If you aren't going to count everything associated with a 500hp 7m, then you can't consider it at all. That's like trying to say that the turbo doesn't count and I don't think you'll be able to make 500hp out of a 7mge, so you need to include that stuff. And I don't think you need the most...

If you want to nitpick like that about the number of parts, then you're going to need to count every coupler, IC pipe, hose clamp, vacuum line, etc. That stuff can also break and if it's a turbo or an IC or whatever, it's going to be expensive. So you're saying a 7m would be more...

Front should fit fine. Rubbing and clearance will depend on tire size, alignment and ride height. Rears are going to stick out, would need something like a 3/4" pull and a slightly stretched tire to get it to not hit the fender.

Awesome guys, thanks again for helping out. So now Tanabe bars and JZA70 front bar are on the way. The whiteline bars got here on Thursday. I will be pulling the stock pre89 bars off the car tomorrow probably as long as it isn't crappy outside. And getting started on the testing tomorrow...

Decent comparison. A couple things just to be fair. 400 for an R154 clutch that would hold 500hp? I want to know where to get that. I would think probably double that for something that would work for the setup. The rest is probably alright, but you would also need to include tuning, so...

The only time I mentioned 450hp was in reference to the 4th gen supra. And your example, was using a 2jzge with some super cheap ebay turbo kit. It also didn't include proper engine management, injectors, etc. And it was in reference to a drag setup. In my posts I said I wanted it for road...

I understand that it holds the weight of the transmission. But I don't think you realize the different loads that it will see during driving. Moving the output shaft by hand won't really tell you that. Look at where the trans and engine are supported and then what connects them. And then...

I would just be worried about any flex between the engine and trans killing the input shaft bearing on the trans. 3/8" is thick, but there could still be some movement which would probably put some bending loads on the input shaft. And tapping the holes, seems like a bad idea. Well maybe...

So you're leaving it up to the customer to "trim" all that extra material off of a 3/8" thick piece of steel? That sucks. And what about my other questions?

I would need to know a lot more about the car before I could say anything. And even then, the rates that I would recommend for drag would be different that what I would recommend for drift. So a lot more information would be needed before I could even begin to suggest something.

Hypercoils are usually around $60 each. So $240 for all 4 in pretty much any rate you would want and different sizes. As for rates, read some of my other posts in here and you'll realize why I can't say what rates I would recommend. It depends on a lot of things.

As awesome a review as that is, do you have anything more specific to say? What you do with the car, how they're setup, etc?

I will get to this soon. I just have a lot to write and not much time. But I will get to it as soon as I can. Tim

Aren't there holes on the bottom of the engine or trans? Why are they not being used? And is the adapter plate going to look like that? Just a big round edge sticking out between the engine and trans? And those bolts going through are getting nuts right? They aren't threaded into...

It's not really the power ruining the handling, it's not accounting for the change in weight properly. Weight will ruin a car if it's not accounted for and this goes both ways. Add some weight to one end of the car and it gets screwed up, remove weight from one end of the car and it also gets...
