Nice , time to play ! Yehey .......
that 709rwhp at 17psi .. I knew couldn't have been on pump 93 but I wanted to hear these final numbers since with Larry , anything was possible being one of the best out there. 700 on pump 93 is actually possible on the dyno using his own words years back .... but will be asking for trouble on the streets . It will be a meltdown . You had 10:1 compression and high compression loves E85. And besides at 32psi you got almost 900rwhp on E64 , the numbers didn't add up....15psi difference and less than 200rwhp difference from pump 93 to E64 just didn't add up. Now those numbers make more sense. On a better weather , if the turbo with your setup hasn't lost steam , pushing it to +38psi should get you to 1krwhp. I damn love that turbo. That turbo with my stroker MKIV and the SC with SP QSV spools almost like a 63mm turbo.
Dang ... time to terrorize the streets of IL. I wish you were nearer down south so we have more good powered SC to play around with. Congrats !
EDIT :
1) did you convert your fog lights into air duct for cooling ? Did you just gut the interior of the fog lights ? I think I will do that in one of my cars . Looks good and will provide more air for my coolers.
2) did Larry try to push it higher than 32psi or did the PT-6870 run out of steam that is why he stopped at that boost level ?

gerrb, thanks man!
I only messed with the foglights because the driver side fog light was not clearing the 4" IC pipe. It was either this or no foglights at all. Was a last minute decision to cut out the rear housing, cut a hole in the lenses, smooth them out, paint and throw them back on. The inside "ribbed" housing section is actually metal, the rest is all plastic.
Shane, thanks man!
Maybe some day, we will make a move down south (to escape teh cold winters and horrible road conditions up north). Half our cars sit in storage to avoid salt. No fun.

What a build! The attention to detail is amazing. Does anyone make under carriage trays between the front bumper and intercooler? It would help make sure air goes through the intercooler and not around it. The Supra comes with it from the factory.
