Message I believe

the stock turbos are good for 116 - 117 mph w/o NOS.
Sport 500's should give an aditional 4 - 5 mph
Sport 600's should give you an additional 10 + mph over stoc
TD05's can hit 130 +
HKS BB's are just like the sport 600's

So when ICE is saying that he hit 11.5 @ 118 mph is believable but only with a hi 1.7 60 ft time. Either that or his car has great midrange but flattens out at the top end. Believe me 1.8 sec 60 ft times are not uncommon if you use good rubber on stock sized rims - slicks NOT required

I think i remember someone named Travis from NJ or MD ran 117 mph on stock turbos with 15 inch rims and a set of drag radials and he had low 1.6 sec 60 ft times. This was about 2 years ago. Remember .1 sec in the 60 ft = .2 at the 1/4 mark.

Further more i am a bit disapointed that a large # Z'ers are abandoning the "more with less attitude" and simply concentrating on how much HP they can make. Guys !!! we do not to be dyno queens like the supra guys. All you need is 550 or so rwhp with good traction to get in the 10's. Thats easily possible JWT sport 600's or hks bb's . Keep your cars streetable.

Just a thought :)
