I AGREE WITH PHOENIX57, IF MARKO CAME FROM 2JZ WORLD TO MESS WITH LS1'S THEN THERE MUST BE SOMETHING TO IT.MARKO OBVIOUSLY FORGOTTEN MORE ABOUT TO 2JZ'S THAN ALL OF US KNOW PUT TOGETHER. HELL! 
MAYBE HI-FLO TURBO WILL SPONSOR MY TURBO LS1 SUPRA

So this worm runs 8.22 in an LS1 with the factory six speed? Very impressive! Must be the quickest six speed in the world. I thought that a TT-Viper held the quickest six speed in the world record at 8.75@168, that was on a built six speed. There are two Supra's that have run in the eights on the factory six speed tranny.
Paul Efantis ran a 8.97@166.6 in a full weight 6speed Supra.
And Ryan Woon ran a 8.99@165.76 in his full weight 6speed car.
Those are the only cars that I know of in the eights on a six speed. There could be a couple of Fox body Mustang's there too.

Hey I never said that the LS1 will not eventually surpass the 2JZ-GTE in all aspects of performance, but it is not there yet. I think the LS series of engines is awesome, lots of potential.
I just don't care for some of these ignorant people that always have to talk down on something they have no knowledge about.
Like I said earlier... I think it would be different to put an LS1 in a Supra chassis, but you are not going to reinvent the wheel. You will find out after all of your hard work that the car is really no better off performance wise than if you did a nice 2JZ-GTE build. They are both great engines and they are very close together in performance capability.
Good luck on your project and I am sure that either way it will be a bad *** car.

I even conceded that it seems it ought to be possible. I haven't driven a twin turbo vette nor a single turbo 50 psi supra have you? I didn't ask for smart aleck remarks. Besides that these guys with turbo cars don't necessarily need the ridiculous lift and duration on their cams to make the big numbers.
acutally markos car ran low-mid 8s and was his daily driver for awhile
