I would project the supra pulling about a 11.8-12.0 at approx 119 with the ls-1 pulling a 12.2 to 12.4 at approx 115.
I remember beating a head/cam/full bolt on ram air 01 t/a at the dragstrip with my bolt on only supra with less than $1500 in mods (no nitrous). He had a better 60 foot time so was also likely a better driver.
I really enjoyed my former tt supra and would have bought one again instead of an ls1 t/a if they weren't so damn expensive. The lack of torque below 4k sucked but the top end and handling kicked ***...and you didn't have to worry so much about breaking drivetrain parts (i.e. 10 bolt rear ends & trannys).
Makes me wonder if my 3k+ 380 rwhp ls1 buildup is gonna cost me more like 6-7k by having to add a ford 9" and a built up tranny.
stock for stock the tt supra and ls1 fbody would be a very good race though
Looks like I got a little off topic here but the power under the curve (average power rather than peak power) would give the ls1 an advantage from a roll over the tt supra.
