ran the MR2

Best ET: 16.0 @ 81mph<P>That was with a bad launch IMO (2.1 60'). It was cold, down in the 40's, so no heat was in the tires. Best trap of the night was 82.

It has a 2.25" straight pipe and a K&N panel filter. Plans are to keep it right where it is....although I found a shop that'll build me up a factory blueprinted head for 350 including core charge.<P>the turbo models run 14s stock.

Just went to a performance shop here in town to get a quote on putting my b6t in, they had a turbo mr2 with a custom aluminum 5 in. intake manifold with a 70mm. throttle body, MASSIVE, over 300 hp, and the owner said stop there, why? I have no clue, he's rich enough though.

Probably because he wanted to keep the powercurve relatively happy on the streets. The 497 whp one in Orlando (highest with a stock block) gains like 125whp in a span of 1000 rpm. That will lose traction basically anywhere, which isnt ideal for the street.

yeah, I see what you are saying, its just that he buys all of the best stuff and pays extra for the name brand of stuff and the plays them down and limits them, doesn't make much sense to me. He's never even raced it and he wants to put a roll cage in it now.

Who said he was crazy..<P>I think that is the smartest man on earth
