I really don't get the whole "race gas" thing......
I build so the car will make xxxrwhp 24/7 filling up anywhere I drive.

I'm only building and buying for pump gas too.
I may tune or dyno with 100 but that's only because I have 100 avaible to me at a pump only 10 minutes away from my house, so it's not a big hassle.

I can get 110>115 Propane here but it's only available at a single chain so I stick with the normal 104 pump LPG that's everywhere. (not a huge drop in power so no biggie)
IJ, if you had to tune your car to run 93 octane, you'd be wanting some race gas. The only reason you don't is because you have the option of 104 or higher. I don't. I can only get 110 at the racetrack and they're only open on saturday nights.
i have looked at few that are capable of my power goal just havent made any deff. decisions yet. im still cant decide if im going bb turbo yet either.
And it's 1/3 the price of 98 unleadedupgradedsupra said:
J: I'd just use a bigger turbo that could make my goal on pump and use AntiLag to make it happen sooner.

lol atleast i'd only tout 250rwhp as easy to achieve

I think a Z06 costs $240,000 in Australia... if you were to get one in from GM. My god what you can do to a Supra for that money... and that much money for only 505bhp? stinks.
I realize at the ripe old age of 22, you do know how to control that type of HP, I guess I would only ask that you do your racing on the track, so as not to take other people out. If this is, and was your original intent and goal, then I retract my statement, apologize, and request that you video this race, so that I can cheer your supra on to beat that vette.
the track is the only place to race, ive had to many friends hurt and killed doing dumb things on the street. ive got kids to worry about to be out driving like a maniac. i will admit its alot of power, ive driven a big block chevy with similiar power, it was scary fast.
But isn't there other cars there that are compareable for alot less money then the vette? I'm going to spell this wrong so i'm sorry ahead of time. Holden Monaro is the US verison of the Pontiac GTO right? I have no clue how much one goes for but if you put that much money into one of those. I would think you would have quite a car but much rather invest in supra parts though.vas85 said:

Dude...it so doesn't work like that.
There are a lot more factors than 500hp vs 600hp. To name a few:
Suspension
Gearing
Tires (better bring slicks, and know how to work them for temp, if you want to hook-up) which brings up:
Lane choice and someone who can stage you and keep you on the sticky stuff, you don't want to blaze new trails at the strip.
Stick or Auto, (auto's better for drag racing, especially w/ high stall spd. T/Q)
Driver
Luck (the most important factor if it's not going your way)
Last thought, knowing how to fix stuff at the track, quickly when stuff goes wrong, cause more times than not it will.
I've seen lots of dyno queens and no-traction cars with tons of hp lose to cars with way less power.
:icon_bigg
i agree with you suprabad, both cars a manauls. a nice set of drag radials i think will work fine. hes gonna be running stock tires im sure. traction is gonna be my biggest problem. i think ill throw in a 4:30 lsd for track days. our local track 1/8th mile.

They are between 80-100k AUD for a non monaro but HSV GTS Commodore VE...(307kw) but then at the end of the day its a family based car, with a chassis designed for 5doors as opposed to our much loved car which is made as a coupe from day 1.
