Starting and Revving 350 V8 MKIII Supra

[Vacationtime247]

Knew it would be fast, but this thing is wicked. Trying to maintain traction and wheel spin is difficult.

When ya gonna hit the dragstrip? Run it in its current trim to get a baseline. Then make a pass for each upgrade you do.

BTW, 14.90's at best. That's if you break into the 14's. :icon_razz
Yeah, that's a challenge!

This is so American (in a good way). Sounds good, and I bet it does haul ars. Does the whole body shake when cruising at speed?

Just got it done on Monday. Haven't had it to the strip yet, but it will be. LMAO @ 14's! Had this same set up in my Vette with 2.73 gears and tall 16' tires and ran 12's. Just replaced the 4.30's for a 3.72 LSD unit from a '89 up MKIII. Know I'm in the 12's, just how deep. Like to make a few 11 second passes with a 100 shot.

Sorry, no driving vids yet guys. Need someone who won't carp themselves when I hammer down on it...and be able to hold the camera still. They'll be coming soon.

The body doesn't shake when I'm driving it. It's aligned really well and haven't had any vibrational issues.

Plan to paint it soon. Want to sand it down, paint it and make it look better.

vetts and supras are the strip whit the same engine are a lot different

Got to get my front glass replaced. : ( Don't think they'll let me race with it all busted up. Previous owner lived out in the sticks NE of Louisville, KY. Said a limb fell on it. He had 2 Supra's. The other was newer, had a targa top and a turbo. But it had rust issues. Neither of them ran. Was going to sell me both for $1k. Wound up just getting this 1 for $600 since it was solid, rust free and had less than 100K miles on it. Didn't want to make another 8hr trip to have another yard ornament.

rules for in car camera man:

no crapping yourself
hold camera still

haha just some suggestions for when you find your candidate

 

[Suprapowaz!(2)]

"Its a 350 Vortec Engine full roller. Hot cam, roller rocker arms, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, 750 Edelbrock Carb. Cheap and easy build."


Ok, for some reason I thought it was more of a stock build. I say 12.87 @ 111mph. Good luck.
