Please ignore the shiny blue tornado and check out the HKS 264 Camshafts resting peacefully in the boxes.

Brad- Are there plans to have the car dynoed after Horatio does the install? Let me know if you want me to start asking around about good dyno shops in the area.

I forgot to tell you earlier on the phone that he actually told the dyno operator that we would be there to tune. If you know someone with a video camera let's borrow it or rent one.

Brad, Here are the pics I took today of your engine. Horatio is doing the HKS cams on Friday. He wanted to know if you wanted him to go ahead and replace the timing belt while he has everything off to do it.

Why didn't you switch to an e-fan while you were in there ripping stuff apart? Seems to be a common switch, both with Supras and with pretty much any vehicle with a belt fan. I'd like to do mine in my ranger some day, when I have some $$ and time to retrofit it.

Now, get to the DYNO!! Edit- Just saw your website with the dyno vid. Awesome!!!

He put down 608rwhp, but the car should be good for 700+rwhp once he gets the wastegate spring changed out. Here are the rest of the pics and video.

I hear for the Supra if you have that dual Flexlite you need an upgraded alternator. I may go with the Flyuidyne/Flexlite combo, we'll see.

While I don't advocate street racing on public streets, I've gotta say that that's awesome...

You don't happen to be a member over on www.supraforums.com , do you?

Looks like the sites down for maintenance ATM, but my bro's a member over there.

Honestly, we were the only 2 people on a VERY well lit road. Not another car in site except our patrol and chase cars.

yeah I am Braddman over there.
