Default My SC is done!

Probably only about 5 people on here remember me considering the turnover supraforums has but SP called today to tell me than my lexus is done (dropped it off in February of 05 )

Quick overview:

TT Shortblock
Stock VVTi Head with HKS 272 cams and VVTi disabled
SP Race Intake Manifold
95 lbs/hr injectors
AEM
SP74GTS
4" Downpipe to twin 3" Exhaust
SP400 with 4600 stall.

Car made 690 RWHP at 28psi. Hopefully larry can chime in and post up a dyno sheet, I just thought I would throw my numbers out. I think 690 RWHP through a 4600 stall and with the transbrake should be good for deep 10s on a decent tire. I don't plan on turning the boost up any as I am a bit gun shy after the number of motors my old SC went through (although that was on a stock NA block).

Couple of pics:

Nope, but I will once I get a chance to go pick it up. I have conferences, meetings, baseball games, and a lab opening over the next couple weeks so it may be the end of the month before I can grab it

LOL. Hopefully this car will have a better future than your previews car. I think I've seen your car in the past year more than you have.

I think the old car was just cursed with me. Other than being in the shop for over a year my luck has been considerably better with this one so far.

I am sure all you chicago guys have seen the car a million times at SP and I haven't seen it a single time since feb of 05. haha

He already lowered it. Anything more than that is going to break some butt.
