Definitely happy with the new set up. Open valve is definitely louder, but more menacing

Still working with @RRRacing on the new tune. Once we have that there will be a new Dyno and cruising video. Stay Tuned~

I can't seem to read it anywhere on this thread, maybe I'm just too old and too blind.
But.. what are your intentions with this car?

Cheers, great work.

Why not take out all the insulation while your at it? Whats the point in making the car less comfortable? For what fraction of a second on a drag strip?

Nice. Let us know how you like those QRT-C seats. I am looking at a set for my MKIV Supra to help drop some weight. Did you see the aluminum side mounts, they are about 3lbs lighter than the steel. I am not sure if I could drop the rear seats on my GS-F, maybe for the track, but for daily, I think it would be pretty loud, right? Pretty easy to remove the rear seats?
