They are still running a stock 6spd 3.5FD........but the motor revs out to just about 9K rpm (that and the 28in tall tire get ya the 158mph still in 4th gear).

Only drivetrain changes are clutch (of course), and DSS pro halfshafts.

No exhaust only a downpipe probably. IP runs only a downpipe.

Didn't you guys at one point have the highest WHP Supra on a Stock Block? I remember reading this in Turbo a LOOONG time ago...987WHP if my memory serves me right.
