No biggie, the stock turbo would have the scrapped anyways since they'd be automatically suspect. Plus there are too many advances in blade design in recent years. Either way it doesn't look as if it'll fit. Buuuuuuuuuut, the upshot is that one of those hot shot Nelson 427TT's will fit just...

A Mercedes V12 runs about $2000 bucks or so for a good longblock core. That's the one upside the the fuel crisis :)

Hell I can live without that. If I'm honest, I'd really like to order an SLC. But I'm not keen to build it, however. My current project car has taken about three years and I'm burnt on turning wrenches. Plus I'm involved in a business deal that has reserved every bit of free cash for a...

Maybe a bit of traction control, as well. :)

Yeah, I was just giving a little wiggle room. Breathless' SLC is listed on their site as 2350lbs, so with the addition of a couple small frame turbo, and tiny intercoolers, the total could jump to ~2500lbs. Still not bad at all. Figure a conservative estimate would be 25% lighter with a much...

The more I research the LS7, the more impressive it seems. Guys on Corvetteforum are reporting that with a proper tune a stock bottom end motor is surviving 900-1000rwhp blasts, and that's in a car that's 1/4 heavier than the SLC. That's hugely impressive.

A curve like that is exactly why I swapped in a 4.7LTT. That 3.0L was a dog until 6k rpm :)

With Supras, the 6 speeds are known to hold 1500rwhp+ reliably. If anything the center casing tends to split on an an extremely hard launch. Usually triple plate clutches are used, I was running a triple bronze for years, and I know of many that run triple carbon Tilton clutches. The...

There's a good many guys running 3:1 on the street, and figure an SLC loaded with goodies would weigh in at ~2500lbs at least. I don't think 2.5:1 isn't out of the realm of imagination. Of course much of it lies in the use of the car, but on a lonely straight and with a boatload of downforce...

I dont; know man, there's a lot of people thast drive around with that kind of power daily. My machinist runs a 408 iron block in his C5 with a 350 dual stage shot. It runs pump gas and with the flip of a switch feeds from a reserve of C16 for the shot. THat car is devastating.

Oh yes, SW has a great collection. Boost Logic did an outstanding job on that car. :) Eric

I've got a little coin tied up in my Supra, but what would it take to get the SLC to the level where it could compete in something like the Texas Mile? Is the car stable at those speeds? Serious questions because my Supra is a real heavyweight, and I wouldn't be surprised if it would tip the...

Not really. Many of those cars are Saturday night cars. I'm just looking at what could drag an otherwise "fast" slc on a lonely patch of long straight. Not that everyone is building their car for the same end goal, but for me on a car like this the name of the game is power to weight ratio...

RSI has turn key 1500HP packages for the 2nd and 3rd gen Vipers as well.

Lot's of MKIV Supras, at least one MKIII Supra, various year twin turob mustangs, lot's of C5 corvette's, and a few twin turbo Vipers.
