Yea it will, my car was drowning in fuel, watch the video and listen to the motor tone in 3rd gear. Also you had a big acceleration advantage with the GS300 3.90 gears.

The TH400 doesn't make the car go faster, it actually robs much more power over your A340e, but it won't break. I'll be out there soon on full kill mode to shatter the record lol.

It looks like its end of season for me. Hopefully next year ill beat my personal best and into 11's

I'm going to try to squeeze in a couple of runs on Friday, I have a party to goto @ 8:30 PM so I think if I get to the track by 6:30 when they open I can get a couple of runs in. Hopefully I can get a good hook, my drag radials are beyond the wear bars at this point so new tires might help. Slicks and skinnies are going on this winter.


By the way Connor I have a 66 mm turbo not a 67.

Rained out again, that's 3 Fridays in a row.

adamgamz

Do it! Good luck.

Alright, the bar has been raised for quickest / fastest 2nd gen GS300. I just ran 11.2 @ 130.23 letting off the throttle to steer the car straight. It would have been an easy 10.8 had I been able to stay in it. These MT ET Streets really make the car drift hard to the left, I was having trouble all night.

Nice man. What track are you going to? They don't get pissed that you don't have a cage of some sort? Or did you plan to run the 10 sec pass and ditch out of there lol.

adamgamz

Thanks Jeff, I go to Orlando Speedworld, it's like 20 min from my house so I'm nice and close. They only give you a hard time about the cage once I get into the 10's, I'm not there yet but from what I hear I can get in 2 10 second runs in before getting kicked out (1 warning). The GS was getting a ton of attention out there last night, lot's of people liked watching what was being dubbed the "doctors car" beating up on GT500's and Corvettes. I just got back from meeting the transport guy who has my sport design, I'm going to start swapping interiors today.

Very nice!! Where's the video? What boost is that run at? You have me thinking about another build now.

Nice work Adam. Congrats on getting to the top of the list.

adamgamz

Thanks guys, I think I can get this down to 10.5 or so. My 60 foot was still pretty ****ty. With slicks and skinnies I can launch hard off the trans brake and probably get down to a 1.5 60 foot which would put me down to low 10s, maybe even a high 9 second time. Right now 10's are the initial goal but I need to invest in some new tires. I have a in car video that I will get up later. I'm swapping interior's now.

Now put manual transmission there now and shift it... Joking!! Good job there, you really put the bar up. Congrats!!

adamgamz

I still have to shift it, just no clutch. No manual for me, I had the 6 speed GS300 and this is a way better setup for this car IMO. The only thing I want to do is put in a gear vendors O/D unit and maybe reinstall the 3.92 gears in the rear end for quicker acceleration. I'll probably go back to the track tomorrow to try again for that 10 second time and get it on video. I had my camera running and my wife called me as I was approaching the burnout box which shut off my camera on my phone.

I think you guys and gals can really appreciate the following race between a 06 GS300 with a 3.0 liter v6 and the 12 ES350 with the 3.5 liter v6. I'm pretty sure that the end of the video will shock some of you!
