actualy it doesnt take that much to get 400 hp in a mkiv. Straight BPU (about a 1.5k) will get you 430-450 to the wheels.

If it was a single big turbo supra (apu), a head/cam LS1 would have been waxed on a highway run.

Well, thats my opinion anyways.

Its always great seeing TAs beat supras though.

Good race! Both cars are about even when stock, but max is right, 400-450 HP is not that hard to do one the newer supras even with the stock turbos. And yeah like he said, the ones with the single really big aftermarket turbo on the highway... OMG. Turbo lag on those big ones though gives us V8 guys and edge in stoplight races since the turbo car will usually have to play catch up.

Yeah, unless they have a 100 shot to get them off the line.
