Whats the general concensus of these...which seems to be the best...mainly between eman and Mines. I know ProEFI is th ebest standalone...not sure if I ill have 3-4k to drop on management tho lol

fcd is just to eliminate the fuel cut so you can up the boost. You want to eliminate speed limiter, greddy and hks make one however some vehicles it has worked on and others not.
I was able to get a mines ecu that eliminated speed cut, changed the timing and fuel maps as well as raise the rev limiter and I cost me $250 (which is a steal) so you just have to constantly be looking.
Emanage will eliminate the speed and fuel cut as well and is easier to find. Do some research to decide but a lot of people have had good results with the eman setup

Cool thanks man, After I read that hear yesterday I have been doing some research and it seems that either Mines or Emanage seems to be the way. I would rather have the sc and the fc both integrated into one thing instead of having to wire in a lot of extra stuff. I keep hitting fuel cut right now I think cuz sometimes it feels like it is running extra strong an then my exhaust does a weird stumble/fart (lack of a better description) an loses its boost. I am only running something like 8 or 9 lbs at wot sometimes it only seems like 6. The vac seems a little off as well like only 9 lbs at idle. Could be the boost guage tho it seems like it is a cheap one. The low end is extremely laggy but once the second turbo kicks in it feels really strong. I have never owned a 2jzgte before but I also have a mkiii with a 1jz on stock teins and it is owning my Lex 8( I wanna get the Lexus on beast status lol I figured the 2JZ would be a lot faster, but I also dont have big heavy *** 19's on the Supra too so I am chalkin the lack of the low end on the rims.

I know this car its built and painted by my mechanic who did my swap larry from team orange, somebody must have bought it and then sold it to you. If i'm not mistaken it should have fresh interior which was redone and i think the exhaust is blitz but i could be wrong but if you bought it in south florida then this is the car.

WOW yeah I did get it in South Florida! Found it on Craigslist and flw out and drove it 1800 miles back to Albuquerque. The interior seems to be brand new. Do you have any more details about the car and the build?

Yes! I like it a lot when I get to drive it lol My fiance kinda took over drivin it cuz she cant drive any other cars cuz they are manual lol When I do drive it is is really fun. I hate the wheels tho..they are really heavy 19's and I am swapping them out for some 17x9.5 +25 Advan RG2's in gold in the next couple days. I am hoping with the wheel up grade it make a good difference in acceleration and braking

17s are too small the the GS. I would recomend nothing lower that 18 and IMO they look tiny too. Its due to the fact that the GS has a big body look.

LOL thanks but they weighed a ton and these are only like 17 lbs each. I want performance since it has the 2JZGTE. I can def tell a difference in handeling and braking and even acceleration.
