Default my turbo lt1 vs stroker supra

I had traction on my side and he had POWER on his side. Took him right at 12 seconds to catch me(passed the 1/4 mile), but he made me look like I was standing still when he did! He made 1004rwhp, but had it turned down to about 900rwhp during our race. He's on full hoosier slicks/skinnies and I'm on my 17" drag radials. This is how I hope my car leaves all year, it flat dead hooked and it was about 35 degrees out so COLD streets. I'm still down on power that we are trying to find, but it was a good fun race. That power level is where I should be on my pump gas(I had a mix of pump/110 in it because I was tuning it that night). Car should have at least another 150-200rwhp in it on good gas and cranked up.

Yeah, they can have their top end all they want. 95% of the time they fly by I'm already on my brakes.

Wow ! Its definitely not every day you see a race with an F-body & Supra making close to a combined 2,000 hp, but even more rare when it's a LT1 Turbo Great race, lets see the same race again with that extra 150 hp !

I have no respect for anyone who races on the street and I think both of you should be charged
racing on the street with cars near 1000hp is just asking for someone to be killed.

You know what is really scary, at the track on Sunday, I couldn't leave on 4lbs of boost because it spun, but on the concrete on the street it left on 8lbs no problem, just dead hooking.

I'm PRETTY sure that Supra is running TT even stroked. I remember hearing TT kits for them to make around 1300hp.

I've heard that too!
Although there is a Local guy who has a VERY fast single Turbo Supra, and he actually makes way more power with a LARGE single turbo than with Twins.... But either way Supras are Very impressive when built right!

It's definitely a big single turbo.

Major highway, late at night, with only about 15 of us there.

I watched more cars get all over it on the track on Sunday because of the junk prep then I've seen on the streets the last few weekends. My car went way straighter on the street then it did at the track on Sunday, even with it being on lower boost at the track.
