Hehe. The video run wasn't planned truthfully, and I wasn't driving my car, my buddy was, so even if it were it wouldn't have been fair. We had run plenty of times before and after, his car has run a 12.1 in the 1/4, but the majority of his mods are for racing at VIR (long roadtrack here in Virginia) and autocross. He's stiffened the chassis, suspension, etc...all very tastefully and correct.

The point is, the only time my Supra ever matched him was when we did a rolling start when I was at the top of 3rd gear, so I instantly built up boost...so instantly that I spiked around 25 PSI, so when I shifted I actually popped the charge pipng off the turbo, which caused the car to flood and stall out at 70-ish MPH....which also scared the bejesus out of me, I thought I blew the engine when I saw the controller's recorded max-pressure.

Yeah....no way 25 PSI is blowing that engine, but I was kinda paranoid with my 9 year old $25k car.
