I like the Lexus, I've owned 2JZGTE cars since 1996, I'm a big fan of the power plant. I need a 4 door and this is the perfect car.

I decided yesterday to drop the car with Darin at DD Tuning for a new Precision 6667 turbo, fuel system, 264 VVTI Titan Cams, Haltech, Fully Built Titan Transmission with a Titan 3200 Stall and a Nitrous kit.
Damn, that didnt take long!

Is that turbo your goikng with the newer billet version? I have read some real good things about them pushing some amazing power for a smaller turbo.

Adam, your math is wrong. 400mi per year for 4 yrs = 1600mi, then you put 1200mi on it yourself so total mileage = 2800miles. Your sig says 1800miles (unless you mean you put 1800mi on it yourself?) I think you meant 400mi over 4 yrs?lol Just giving you a hard time bro. Now let's see some pics of both rides side by side!!!

NICE!!!!! That is a beautiful side by side, so inspiring!!! Glad to see you know your math too, lol. Looks like I'm the one who made the mistake, heheh. That's such a beautiful view out the front of your house too!! Very scenic and peaceful, and a great photo-op just outside your front door.

love it, so much hate on the scoop but I like it! I think a vented hood may have looked better but thats your call lol
Keep up the good work man, I think you shouldve just SC'd the monster with the cash but its your loot. Two great cars, very jealous. Lets see some more pics of that monster.

Thanks guys.. Yea Luda, I was looking at he Paxton kits but I think I am going to wait and get Darin at DD Tuning to build me a twin turbo kit for the Viper instead. 1000 RWHP on 93 octane would be a blast on the street.
