Default Twin Turbo 5.3L Lexus Is300 9.17 in the quarter Vid inside

Had a chance to make some test passes last week. While I know I still have some work to do I'm happy with these preliminary numbers. 8's are just around the corner. This pass was made @22 psi at the peak using 275/50/15 radial pros a sycronized T56 magnum and a DSS 9 inch IRS unit.

The short block mods consist of Wiseco Pistons, Scat rods and an o-ring Job by Watt's shop.

That is too cool. Bonus points for being different and a hell of a strong running car too.

Congrats. Very impressive, especially for a 6sp. What turbos are you using?
