Chris Rado`s crazy 2500hp street Supra What a beast, Supra street car with a 6.2L Toyota Tundra V8 with twin 76s at 2500hp. The article says the engine can handle 10,000rpm and 50psi! I always knew that Tundra engine would be downright nasty if someone built it up right. Nothing better than a DOHC V8 with some decent displacement. Even more crazy is that its a street car. No doubt with Chris Rado(a crazy, skilled, maniac of a driver) behind the wheel, it will carry an undefeated street record. Hopefully he will be at Tx2K12 and blow every Lambo`s doors off; with that car`s aeros+power I doubt theres more than 5 street cars in the world that could touch it in a roll, if that. I imagine he will also be hitting some mile races and surely setting some 270+ mph records. This is one import I envy, it has a V8! Words just cant explain....

Hey guys thanks for all the kind words about our build. SOHC you mentioned the 3UR is a 5.7 and you are correct, but after you build a billet crank and other internals our engine pumps to just under 6.2liters. Also just to clarify we are building this car to run the mile and other Top Speed runs so while driving this vehicle at anytime under 150mph we will only be running like 5-7psi which will easily net over 1000hp and boost will start climbing from there as drag and speed increases so will the boost pressure. Many other goodies to list but you'll just have to stay tuned and see. There is much madness to come!!
Thanks Again-
Chris

Lol, seriously. This car is nuts. I cant imagine driving something that powerful on the street. With the huge wing that everyone would think is ricerish and the car probably "only" makes 700 if that, you could take alot of peoples money in a hurry on the highway!

Thats Chris Rado for you. A truly sick SOB. Lol, I really cant think of any street legal car out there that could take it from a roll. The crazy thing is he is running a manual trans, he said its a custom Weissman transmission. Not the best idea for boost but guaranteed it will be a hard charging beast above 150mph. The 60-130 record will obviously be belonging to him shortly if he does it. The standing mile record is 266 right now by a 1900hp Ford GT and that will obviously be going down as well. I wonder if he built it to handle as well? Id love to see him behind the wheel of that monster at the Nurburgring.

I'm in the middle of building a new motor for my car, and I can truly appreciate this build. It might not be my style, wait, who am I kidding, v-8 power, lots of boost, and honestly, I always liked the looks of the supras, hell what's not to like about it.

Either way, this is an awesome car, and I really like the fact that they kept it clean instead of being totally covered in sponsor stickers.

Aint that the truth. I find myself saying "Id rather have a TT LSX-454" when looking at vids/pics of 1500+ hp Supras/R34s/R35s/Evos/Silvias. Although with this one, I really dont think Id change anything about it. I bet that 6.2L DOHC thats in there is nasty under boost. It came out in October so why the h3ll is there nothing else out there about the car though?!

Considering the current 60-130 record holder is a AWD Lamborghini in the 2000hp range(3.0 seconds, I don't see a street RWD car hitting that without being at a drag track), and the GT had 1900whp, didn't it? That's around 2200hp at the crank, which is where the 2500 number they are going for(as in, unless I read wrong this engine does not make 2500hp right now it's just a goal) is. They aren't going to touch the 60-130 record at 1000hp like they said (1000hp only to 150mph), maybe they will take the mile record though. Which, is not 266, that run was done with bad timing equipment(which makes a HUGE difference when going that fast).
Either way, this is an awesome car, and I really like the fact that they kept it clean instead of being totally covered in sponsor stickers.

I think 250 is still the record at Texas with a Lamborghini. The GT that went 266 had gone 249 in Texas the same year with only minor changes between the two runs, which wouldn't have come close to making it go an extra 17mph. All the cars that were there the day of the 266 run were going faster then they should have been. IIRC the day before all the cars had gone much slower too, which shows they weren't setting up the equipment very well.

Thats a bad *** Supra... what i don't get is a 10,000 RPM limit and he said on low boost it'll still make 1,000 HP.... at 4 or 5 psi.

Let's face it, when it comes to a project like this, you don't just go out and start breaking records. I'm sure it's going to take a lot of testing and trial and error to figure out traction, gearing, and aero in order to run 250+ in the mile.
Just look at the guys from LMR. That black camaro looked like a sure bet to take the record back, but they ran into traction issues and problems with tires.
Fact is, the tt-Gallardos have pretty good aero from the factory, and all wheel drive is a beutiful thing when you're trying to put 1,000+hp to the ground.

Lots of speculation in this thread. Car is sick. 60-130 record...highly doubt it. Bob Helms big power Viper with a glide in it had the record for a long time, with a BIG tire.
Getting that car to hook wont even be possible. Even with those 375mm Pirellis.
Car is downright nasty but Alchemist and gocartone hit the nail on the head
