sc300 in the 13s

but yeah; thats what i was thinking...
tuned with a direct port 150 shot and required fuel and I think low 13s would definitely be possible (taking into account a strong clutch would be needed along with drag radials)

), but that's alot more than a grand over the cost of the motor Bean, I know you're all for doing it on a budget, I was a student once too , but it just ain't gonna happen brother. Budget several thousand for it, i've set a goal of having $30-35,000 set aside for purchase of an automatic SC3 plus Stage 2 w/ E6K plus all peripherals, meters, etc. (At this point it looks like i'll be shipping it to Lance, or i'll wire Jeff the money and have him find me an SC3 around Miami and drive it to Toyomoto). Doing it strictly on horsepower, the stock automatic with a valve body and the oe diff, it could then click off a low 12 or high 11 on a slick or DOT, and that's after about 17 grand in parts and labour on top of 16-17 thousand to purchase a nice SC3, and to go any faster than that, i'd need another six grand or so for an SP trans, converter, and LSD. Yeah, I know, it can be done for much less Bean, but just think about how much cashish Jeff spent to click off that 11.90 (and every penny well spent ), and how much he just spent to be able to dive well into the tens while watching a DVD.....

awj, i've had a clutch explode and send large shrapnel into the floorpan and unibody members, the guy I sold my Formula to had the clutch incinerate on the 1-2 shift on 26x10 slicks on the street during a run against this guy's Mustang, and when we got it up on the lift it looked like WWIII under there, this little piggie went to market, this little piggie got sawed off by clutch fragments........

I'll get a 2jzgte on my car; if the 5-speed explodes; i'll have a 6-speed budget set aside by then...
i still think its cheaper to get to 400rwhp by swapping in the 2jzgte yourself, BUT to get to 450-500rwhp its cheaper to use the Toyomoto kits (or SP or PHR, etc) because a single turbo upgrade on a 2jz-gte isn't very cheap either
i just like the idea because i'll be able to just call up Sound Performance one day and tell them I want their SP63 kit
and then go order a bunch of stuff specially made for the GTE head, etc

Oh, and a 150 shot on an SC3 won't get you low 13's, I think you'd need a bit more, but maybe if you got a great launch, you just need to be a little more realistic in your expectations, you know what they say - speed costs, how fast ya wanna go?
