the Air Fuel timing is still not clear.... hate to try without knowing for sure all the things.
It seems what MSD Dis-4 changes the stock ECU will tune it right out but keep us up and let us know what happens with your setup. You are a brave soul healer

Mech Tech did a TT job on a SC4. I wish I had the cash to do something like this. They made a pretty bad a$$ SC4 sleeper. Heres the link if anyone wants to read it

its got decent power gains but 6.5psi doesn't justify the 15 grand price tag.

True but it shows that it is possible. It just needs a little improvement and a lot more power. The V8 is capable of a lot more HP that what they got.

I think paisly ran 7's on his Lex V8, they can easily get more power than 2jz's (supra) the supra will still be the "big dawg" till one of you run like a 8.5 on street tires. (that would make it faster than the Veilside Skyline)

I don't know of a Supra running 8.5 on street tyres, let alone an SC400 god forbid

Default What a Guy.....

Healerhand is one hell of a guy, he's got the ***** to make a mistake and the determination to make it work, whatever it takes, unlike many here who have been talking bull about sorting the V8 with turbo/super charging.

Healerhand, if this project takes off, let your muffler guy know that there is potentially very big money for him to make if fabrication is priced reasonably (especially if he's located in Los Angeles). I may have a new mod to save up for in place of wheels, bodykit, and torque convertor!

Isn't 8.5 impossible on street tires?

Especially in a Lexus
