Going next wednesday! Got a full fresh motor with the compression bumped to around 9.7:1
Should be mid 50's out
we'll see if it will do a low 11

Lower temperature alone should be enough to break the 400whp barrier...
Curious question, is a 10.99 possible without sacrificing too much comfort? I.e., stripping interior, sound deadening, etc... if you were to replace things like your brakes, suspension, driveshaft, flywheel, etc, with lighter components? I wonder.
Well seeing the flywheel (flexplate) weighs like 3 lbs and I have a one peice driveshaft already probably not. However if I can get a good 60ft and trap 120mph the car should go 10.99!
I'm shooting for 10's weather I have to gut it to bare sheet metal

The way I yielded the higher compression is by going to the thinest head gasket available 1.2 compressed and removing as much material off the head and block possible without making it an interference motor. It has a 12 thou positive deck height and just enough piston to valve clearance to get by. The car is making some breathless now!

Great numbers Devin. One day I will upgrade my intercooler like you. LOL
Can't wait to see her fly.

True. My definition is "could someone who's old enough to appreciate the comfort enough to NEED it, use the car as a daily driver?" If the car is completely gutted, hard riding, noisy, and hot, it's probably fine for a younger driver, but once you get older, you start to appreciate how comfortable a Supra is when left alone.
Nice numbers Devin, knew you'd clear 400 pretty easy. You still haven't done cams or any head work, have you?
That is what I was getting at. I drove a 5.0 Mustang for a while. And while it was a 1990 GT, there wasn't anything Grand about it.te72;1768513 said:True.

Any plans for head work? I know Tyler ran a 10.67 with the R154 and stock head, definitely more power to be had for him. If I remember correctly you have a modified stock exhaust manifold with external wastegate? Any reason you haven't made a tubular manifold yet, other than time?Devin LeBlanc;1768516 said:
Haha, good point sir, good point. My 2001 SS wasn't exactly what I'd call "super sporty" either.Nick M;1768895 said:
Yes its a stock manifold with a external wastegate. I personally see no reason to go to a tubular manifold on a stock turbo as I don't think it would help at all.
Stock head and cams for now as they are working fine. But if need be I will start doing head work.

Any pictures of the external wastegate setup? I wouldnt have thought you could make the manifold an external wastegate without having boost creep issues.
Did a compression check tonight to see how the motor is after the rings seated.
Cyl 1: 186
Cyl 2: 185
Cyl 3: 185
Cyl 4: 182
Cyl 5: 185
Cyl 6: 185
Thats pretty good for me lol

How many dollars per HP are you willing to spend? That's why I see no point to go with a FFIM and Tubular exhaust manifold.
lets see your external wastegate setup, I'd like something with a bit more control vs the stock actuator.
