Wow....congrats Version...I've been out of this thread for just a few days and it blew up. What the hell! And congrats to the others that dyno'd as well...looks like you guys are doing pretty damn good. Also, speaking of dyno'ing. I think I'm going to be going to a place in Phoenix pretty soon to dyno as well. I've really wanted to dyno with my stock ECU, and then swap the EMS in there to see how it compares...I'd like to try both Church's map as well as my slightly modified one. However, I'm sure I'm much lower now, I'm on both stock intake and stock exhaust with the cat as well. Basically my only performance mod being the EMS...and the gears
anyway I didn't expect this blow up...here are pics I took with firends last week...
btw...I used to not be able to beat my friends 350z, even with the tune, the exhaust/intake/tp. Now with just the EMS and gears, I walk away.

I disagree. Maybe for supercharged cars the 4.57 would be best, but for N/A the 4.77 pretty much spanks anything down low. The car is a freakin' beast. Up top the 4.77 still have a slight advantage over the 4.57 as well. They are overall faster in every category, although boosted driveability may differ. However, some 4.77 geared boosted S drivers would say otherwise.
Gas mileage definitely is worse though.

4.77 would be overkill on a SC man

well guys the supra I was looking at did not work out. The guy did not want to budge from his asking price and only took it down $500. Actually he said he originally wanted $38,000 for it, and I said if I saw it then I wouldn't be thinking about purchasing it. Anyway I am still selling the S and have a buyer for it that is going to pick it up today. I am going to miss it, but I think it's the best thing for me. atleast I won't be paying insane payments ever month and will save tons of cash. I'm going to buy a little gas saving daily car for now. I can probably find another supra, but do not won't to be in high payments while in skool anymore.
I'll be pruchasing a tyota yaris. I actually got to drive the car and liked it a lot. It' nothing like an S, but t's pretty fun little car. I'll be done with school in a little less then 2 ears, and by then the yaris will be paid off and I can get another car. with the money I save I can get anything by then, a Supra, maybe even an nsx(version
), but maybe I'll end up buying another S2K. We'll see what happens.
It's been fun while it lasted, but I'll still linger around so don't think your getting rid of me yet.

Ok chaps,
What is the general consensus on Spoon / J's bored TB's?
I can imagine with a good intake, some head work, and zorst sytem it would compliment those mods. Any views appreciated. Preferably those with proof behind them!
