Question though cause I really dont know **** about Turbos to be honest.. But IF on pump gas u can run 21lbs SAFELY but to run 28lbs safely you have to have methanol then why wouldnt be a power adder? I know its not like N2O in forms of adding power. Because to SAFELY reach a power goal you have to add something then why wouldnt it be a power adder?

15 psi is 525 on an auto with a high stall. I have trapped 130 mph on that power level.

Theres a vid of one running 10.8 @ 129MPH. And you've probably dumped more money into that Supra than a new Z06 costs.

It just proves American > Imports, when will you import fanboys learn...
He ran it @134 mph there guy. Yeah that Vette is bad *** but also look at weights,etc.. also that was on his OLD set up. Again I love American muscle but not everyone is so each is there own. No matter whom u are you HAVE to admit that is one bad *** Supra. Hell if it was a PINTO you would have to say its bad ***.

You are an idiot and cant read. That was my OLD setup 1/4 mile times. Read the sig again. My best mph was 134 on the old setup. How fast are you anyway?
Also, I have less than HALF of what a new Vette costs invested in this car when it comes to power mods. Get a clue yourself because you have no idea.

I raced with a bunch of camaro guys here and also with Gus and the Viper. When they spray nitrous at the track they do not use pump gas. The camaro guys use 114 and Gus uses at LEAST 100 octane. So does that count as a power adder for them too? All the meth does is increase the motor octane. Its like running race gas but only when I need it for more boost. I could run the same boost on race gas but since I drive 70 miles a day everyday it would cost alot of money to do that.

Do you consider race gas to be a power adder? Because this is pretty much the same as what you are saying.

He is saying he HAS to run that to get those powers so why isn't it a "POWER ADDER" I see what he is trying to say and I see what you are trying to say. Funny though cause if you look at it I guess technically it is a "power adder" but then again its not.

Everytime the sprayed the big shots they ran higher octane. They were spraying 175 to 200 shots at one time. Gus always has to run at least 100 on the spray.

"Dat was yo old setup dawg??" Now your car is what, 100x faster?? You're an idiot, no matter what you do you can't beat American Muscle. With full bolt ons a Z06 will destroy your sTupra, add boost into the equation and its curtains for you. Even a non-Z06 Corvette with boost will wreck you. When you need methanol injection just to keep your engine from blowing up, and your not doing pro drag racing, you're an idiot.

You're lying about how much you spent on your car too. Just like the Evo retards that act like they can get into the 11's with a $100 bill. You probably don't want to think about the amount of money that you have wasted on your car, if I was you I wouldn't want to admit that either. So you feel the need to troll this forum to try and gain respect for your car. Ever considered that maybe thats really pathetic and a waste of space?? Probably not or you wouldn't be here.
