My bro took his 93.5 Supra to the track today. It has a full downpipe (replaces both cats), Tanabe Racing Medallion exhaust, hose T boost controller (hitting ~18psi), and a BCC. The stock airbox is retained, but modified to flow better. New NGK spark plugs (same plugs the fast guys are running, forget the model #).
They didn't have race gas at the track, so we removed the spoiler and headlight to try and improve times. This is the car's first time at the track, and it dyno'd at 400rwhp at 18psi (dyno: http://extremeautosports.safeshopper.com/images/br1abgv2.jpg).
Four runs were made as he got used to the car. He is not a terrible driver, and while inexperienced, was doing a decent job of managing wheelspin. In other words, while these times aren't the best that could be made with the car, they aren't so far off as to explain why they're so low.

4. [email protected] (not sure what happened, might be a little off on time)
Car was boosting a little higher with the headlight removed. Third and fourth gears (and second on at least one of the runs) were powershifted. I know Supras aren't nearly as fast on the 91 octane pump gas used, but not this bad! Aren't stock Supras supposed to run [email protected]? One guy on the forum was claiming to have run a 13.2, bone stock.
Is there something I'm missing? Are supras really this slow? I know he could get into the 12's with that trap speed, but still....
Thanks,
Joshua
