It doesnt get to come home quite yet, we have to change a few things to get it where I want it.

SRT built Twin Turbo GS400
Precision GT32-55 twin turbo's.............polished housings
Ross Pistons
Cunningham Rods
SRT ported and polished head
upgraded valve springs
ARP head studs
SRT built manifolds and downpipes........ceramic coatd black
Accufab throttle body......notice the drive by wire is gone+ instant response
Twin Tial wastegates with open air dump tubes
Twin Blitz super sound blow off valves
ECU relocated to battery position
Battery relocated to trunk
return fuel system with twin pumps
750cc injectors
SRT built Intercooler and piping.....powdercoated black
Greddy exhaust (back half).....front half fabricated by SRT to fit the downpipes and tranny
Chrome RMM strut tower bar
Chrome intake manifold, timing gear covers, and valve covers

Drivetrain:
Race built TH400 auto tranny
Pro Torque torque converter
B&M Hammer ratchet shifter
custom driveshaft with driveshaft loop
stock rear with TRD LSD.......will be changed next week to the Supra 3.76 LSD rear
Gear Vendors Overdrive unit......in theory this turns the 3spd tranny into a 6spd

Performance Electronics:
Haltech E11V2 Stand Alone Engine Management System
Race Logic traction control unit
Blitz turbo timer
Blitz Power Meter
Blitz Boost Controller
PLX Wide band mounted behind factory clock location.....trick as hell

Wheels & Suspension:
HRE 543R's.......20x9 255's front.......20x11 305 rears
Tein Flex coilovers

Brakes:
Im embarrased to say.....but their stock!!! New ones are already ordered

Body:
Vertex kit
WIN Racing rear spoiler
DSR roof spoiler

ICE:
Kenwwod DDX 7015 double din in dash monitor
JL 1000/1
JL 300/4
JL 10W7
MMats front and rear speakers
Custom enclosure

Most importantly.......the numbers........with a conservative tuning.......544rwhp......654tq @ 19lbs of boost.......on my 20's......with the power sucking TH400. This number realistically should be in the 600's for RWHP......the TH400 tranny sucks a great deal of power from your rwhp numbers....but it is near bullet proof and will be quicker at the track. I have heard of losses of up to 35% due to the TH400. I will be doing a dyno run on race gas once I break the motor in a little more.......here come the 700's!!!! I have no doubt that with smaller wheels and more agressive timing I could be damn close to the 600's on pump, even with the TH400.


Still to come:
I will be changing the rear to the Supra 3.76 LSD rear next week
I will be changing the stall speed of the converter next week
and sometime over the winter Im going to put a 75 shot of NOS on it to kick in out of the gate

IT LIVES! (I hope it does, anyway).

Looks great, Jeff. How's she run?
I'm still adjusting to you having a silver car instead of a black one.

How did those 20x11s work out? I think those things had a birthday! It looks like they're on there now...

Congrats Jeff. Looks awesome. I was waiting for the thread since I just happened to look in the gallery while you were loading pics.

And of course, we want numbers.

Bob, so far it seems as though the wheels fit perfectly...although I havent driven it more than 1/2 mile yet......no tags on the car!! No rubbing during that short time though, although the car will be lowered slightly when its all said and done.

The car is pretty much done.......I am going to make some changes on it before I take it home though. As some of you know, I went a different route on the tranny. That being said, the stall speed needs to be raised quite a bit to accomodate the change. I am also going to change the rear out for the Supra 3.76 rear to help get me off the line with the new set up. I could drive the car home as it sits, but Im not going to until the stall speed is changed.

I have a GS400 rear with a brand new TRD LSD I will be selling if anyone is interested.

THese pics really do the car no justice......I will get some complete pics when its back and cleaned up.

Oh, Rominl, the exhaust tips are black from the tuning.....thats why they look to be missing.

As far as numbers go, I will post them up when I post up all of the other specs on the car.
