i'm talking about the overall car being lighter. you have sounds, and the other guy doesn't. your fenders add a couple pounds. you are a good driver in the 1/4 though. i'll give you kudo's for that meng!!

as far as the sticker goes...that's the reason i bought 4 stickers from Dawn..... i've definitely felt a difference from 4k up.

Yep. greddy ain't that strong. MOst of the guys on this board with the greddy kit have built motors. you just need a good enginge management system.
the fenders are lighter though, frp vs metal

Well it doesn't matter, as long as the persons happy with what they have and I'm pretty satisfied and nah, driving at the quarter mile has nothing to do with how well one drives, you get good from track events like SCCA, Test and Tune, Super Lap, Drift Session and whatever else, quarter mile is just stepping on the gas and a certain time and shifting properly.

fenders are lighter, but you still need to apply them to the car . the Greddy kit is superb, but the modifying parts suxors. a bada.ss EMS, and TUNING is key.

oops, i mis wrote what i said. you're entirely correct, but i didn't mean 1/4 driving to make one a good driver. i'm meant you know your car well, thus leading to the awesome 1/4 mile times.

Tuning would probably be the main key when it come to getting the most out of your parts and or car.
bingo. you're right on the money. with the proper tuning you'll get good overall, performance hp/tq. overall meaning, not just increases just before redline is up. since you have the money, i'd definitely swap out that stock block. that way, you can mash your pedal more often than you wish.

i'd honestly be happy with 380 rwhp on mine. i'd fly a guy down here to tune it too. just like my supra friends here always do. c'mon, 800 + rwhp 2jz's are MEAN too!

amazing horsepower i worthless if a person doesnt know how to use it or handle it. I'm a couple second back of Mike Wards TT G35, and he makes double the stock horsepower that I have. A couple seconds isnt so far behind in circuit racing and time attack.

Shane...
Hows the project going...having too much fun with Jason's car?
