ya thats pretty much what i thought. The 295 radial with all the grooves probably has the same contact patch as the 275's.

I'll be swapping out the rear springs to a softer rate so I can start dialing in the alignment and strut dampening. I've also wired in my wheel speed sensors and GPS so hopefully I can start dialing in the traction control and antilag

I'll post an update soon. I changed out the intercooler for an a2w setup and I also cranked up the boost. Made 1162@ 24 psi

Hit the 1/8 mile track on 8 psi and went a couple 6.80's while dialing in the suspension. I'll have some 1/4 mile and more boost track numbers soon.

Nice 1/4 time. About how much power were you putting down on that run?

Here I'm running a "ramping" 22 psi so around 1000hp as you can tell its an incredibly smooth ride down the track.

The engine bay has changed a bit since the addition of an air to water intercooler.

I bet the upper echelon at Lexus love this ****. Maybe even more than the Ford fan boys. I am assuming the canister over the intake is a crank case vent system? The car is awesome.

Most people be trippin. Crank case vent with venturis in the exhaust. I hate the smell and potential fire hazard of oil vapor.

What was the purpose of the venturis affect? Why not just evacuate straight to the exhuast?The more I see this car the more I like it. Are you in houston? I'd love to check this thing out.
