I would seriously like to know how they get 700hp out of the s/c. I'm not new to the 1UZ and SUPERCHARGER world neither.

Mo's car was far from stock except for the SC (which was a custom setup and not what they eventually sold as their staged SC kit). The list below is from July 2001Originally Posted by Lexamatic
I asked them about that car, and all it had was an SRT S/C kit, the rest was stock GS400. I really wish they still sold that kit.

Krista (my wife) and I rode in that car back in 2000/2001 when Mo installed some stuff on my GS, it was quite a beast. If recall correctly something broke during that 12 second run and while he completed the pass it wasn't at full power. He had the car still sitting in his shop last time I was there two or three years ago back in a corner gathering dust.Originally Posted by Swift Racing

man...I'm really curious about the tranny controller. I wonder if that's available through them?

Is this the car that made Autoweek magazine a long time ago? I think that was a twin turbo though.

Odd that he would only reference the S/C kit and not the other parts. I did find it a bit hard to believe that just a blower kit will turn a 14.5 sec car into a 12 sec car.

Different car. That was one of the 'four horsemen' (I believe Mitch) with the Scorpion TT setup. Here's a thread on it https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=121470Originally Posted by IAGS400
