Default Single Turbo Supra vs. Turbo S2000

I was doing some test runs with the new turbo setup, and low and behold a supra comes up next to me. I didn't think anything of it, that until I hear the open wastegate with him going WOT for a few seconds. I said screw it, I am game....

We line up in a 2nd gear roll, around 45 mph, and I let him get the hit. We both start losing traction all over the place, slam it into 3rd gear, get the backend straight again, and then procede to get him by about 2 cars at the end of 4th gear. I am speechless right now, with my face ghost white, since this is the first time I have raced with the new turbo. Jesus, the Dual BB turbo is amazing!

We pull up to a light, and he wouldn't even look at me. I had to honk the horn, trying to give him a thumbs up. Finally, he tells me he is putting down 530 rwhp on pump gas and so on, rolls up his window, and wouldn't talk after that. Needless to say, I was done testing the car.....

P.S. Getting the car retuned on race gas, and heading to orlando in 2 weeks to do some runs with some cobra's and supra's. I hopefully will have a shot at the infamous AMS EVO also, as I want to race him badly..... It will all be videotaped for your viewing pleasure!

Are you talking about that AMS tuned EVO that was beating 600whp Cobras? If so, PLEASE post the video after you guys run.

Currently, I am putting down 502 rwhp @ 18 psi. We are going to have to re-tune for the race gas because of the new GT35R turbo, so I am expecting high 600's @ 24-25 psi as a realistic figure. Honestly, I just am waiting for the hardtop to come in, so I can be ready for O-town. Should be some good races.....
