to kill a supra.how? hey guys,give an advise.my buddy has a 900rwhp supra.and everyday says that my vette will never have him.he invites me to roll from 60 to 160.what can i do to win.422+huge shot or 422+supercharger or turbo??
well first of all, you are going to have to have a car set up for top end, cause that IS supra territory. Rolls are for *****'s and that a real race is from a dig. A 422 is nice and being it force induced, that would make it even better. if you could afford a C5-R block, and strap a nice twin T-88 setup or even one big mamma jamma like a t-95 or even a crazier t-106 turbo, that would be nuts, but the fuel setup and tuning would be RIDICULOUS. i am not even sure how long a regular ls1/6 block 422 on F/I or a huge shot will last. my advice is what i stated above, but also write an email to some of the sponsors and tell them what you want to build. If you got the bank to pay for this, then do it. if not, then he has got you beat from a roll for a while!

Verdad Gallardo but guys if the man has his car setup for the quarter, which i highly doubt, it could be a beast. some Supras with the ford nine in the back and the TH350 for switching gears, they can get the cars to run VERY VERY well!

Because that car will suck up the earth's atmosphere and there will be no oxygen for us humans to breathe.
Seriously though he doesn't need a super de duper C5R with twin T88s. He needs a 408ci iron block with twin PT70's. Check out the FI board, there is a guy there with the same setup, built with the help of MTI. He has 408ci of LS1 iron block power with two T66's and is making over 1000RWHP on C16 race fuel. On 13.5 PSI of boost.

trade the high compression for twin turbos, and a huge intercooler. get a TPI setup and you're sure to find some ways to get the air there. that should be good for over 1200hp- easy.

If he wanted to go from 60-160, that means he's probably a slug from 0-60(and no, not all are). Going from a roll is perfectly fine when you happen to come up along side somebody on the road during your sunday afternoon cruise, but for pete's sake, if it's a set up race, make him go from a dig.
Give us some info on his car, tranny, turbo, cams, nitrous, etc.
