Stay in a gear that will have your RPMS really high, as close to the rev limit as possible with about 1000-1500 RPMs to spare.

BRAKE BOOST is what you need to learn to do. It's just as it sounds, ride your brake some and gas it to stay at the same speed (for you, 40 MPH), remember, start in high RPMs for the quickest spool possible (most likely 2nd gear). The brakes will put load on the turbo and allow it to spool some, giving you an edge when you let of the brake and punch the throttle simultaniously (sp?).

Thanks

I asked about launching just for future referance.

I have an 87, how do I figure out what gear I have without taking the cover off and looking?
I installed a 4.10 gear in my mustang before so I know all about rear ends.

Wow, that table is really nice. A 3.91 sounds really good to me. I had a 4.10 in my stang and hated it on the highway. It says my car came with LSD, w000t! for saving money, lol.

He STILL wants to do a 40 roll... His funeral then...

I need some tires really bad... Yokahama's are teh suck. I think I mite roll the ol' mustang 17's and bridgestone tires.

Those tables are using stock sized tires also, so if you have a taller tire, then your top speed will be greater, at the expense of some acceleration. When making larger amounts of power though, I prefer to sacrafice a tad bit of acceleration for the top speed as you can max out fairly quick past ~375 WHP...

Sorry for bringing up a post that alittle dead but S2K are not that slow. I have driven one before and its pretty darn nice. I love the weight balance but I did wish it had more Tq. Supra I don't have experience yet on. Then again I dont know how much gains a supra can get with the mods you listed. On my solara an intake only gain 3hp and a full cat only gains 7 yet I had no idea how in the end my solara had 300+hp......

My supra is stock but I wonder whats my chances with one myself hehe.

just do a basic search on the forum for the amounts of power turbo MKIIIs get from intake and full 3" turbo back exhaust... and a boost controller... youd be quite suprised:naughty:

I have seen several stock s2000 do a high 13 at the track. 13.8-13.9's
I had a s2000 once it was a fun car but not for me. What yr is the car?
If he wants to race from 40mph I think you will pull on him.
I think 35 in 2nd gear in an s2000 is right at 7k rpms where the motor is in the power band I am thinking 40 maybe a bit to fast for him. If he is taking off in third you will demolish him. There are 2 versions of the s2k 00-03 04-07.
the newer ones have a bit more lowend power but not much. I hope this helps.
Good luck.

Sorry to ask this in the middle of no where but a boost controller is only for controlling more boost right? Because I am not in the mood for cranking up the boost any time soon until I retorque my heads unless intake and exhaust requires that.

One thing I can say for sure the S2K will rape us on..... Corners.

^^^ I can attest to this. I have seen quite a few stock s2k's in the high 13's. I don't know why everybody here seems to think they're that slow. You just have to drive them a little differently.

I think you definitely need to be rolling to beat a competent driver.

His is an 00 AP1

He's ready to race, I've been waiting for over 2 weeks for 935 Motorsports to send out my head gasket and head studs.

He wants to go 40-140.... I dont even think my car will go 140......
