Re: Ya-hooo finally! (Y2K_WS6_T/A)
remember i will be around 500 rwhp +/- 50 rwhp.
Don't let Feldman's BPU talk underestimate his car. I saw what should have been a low 11/high 10 second bike barely pull away from his "BPU" Supra.

Re: Ya-hooo finally! (C5Noir)
Congrats, Godspeed. I'm curious as to what your previous oil pressure readings were that prompted your change? Thanks.
I think the problem with mine was a sticking OPRV (Oil Pressure Relief Valve.) The ARE LS6 pump is modded - I believe the pickup valve is ported and it includes a thicker shim for the spring. Bottom line is plenty of oil pressure now and idle and WOT. :)

BAHAHA! His DIC has low pressure...*spills Pepsi also*
Chris - a cam is going in soon, then a wet kit I think...I'd like to see 410rw NA before thinking about the bottle though...that's a ways off, I get to go do things like take care of outstanding warrants and such first.. :boxing

For those that can't undestand the above statements, I have translated:
Thanks for the compliment Jeremy, but my car (like all Supras) really isn't that fast. I almost spilled my Pepsi when I read how your DIC had a Low Oil Pressure warning.

Re: Ya-hooo finally! (BLACK-HT)
Chris as always be careful with those nitrous shots. The stock in-tank fuel pump is only good to 525RWHP. Before spraying a second stage I would add at the minimum an in-line pump. Preferably you should look at either the ARE dual in-tank setup or a seperate fuel pump/fuel system just for the nitrous.

Re: Ya-hooo finally! (Godspeed)
I have never sprayed the 2nd shot and I am not until I put my secondary fuel setup on the car. Santa brought me the stuff for the second stage fuel setup, so its just a matter of hooking it up. The numbers in the sig are on a 150 rich shot, and after we plumb the fuel setup I will run 150 stage 1 and 100 stage 2. Also I did find out for sure the vets have 2 fuel pumps with 2 seperate gas tanks, that may be why the car runs way rich, but I am not going to chance. Hopefully next week we are going to use ARP head studs and I got good headgaskets. Then its on to the fuel setup.

Yeah if it can stay together until, march, then I will pull the motor and build a bottom end, pistons and rods and good bearings. Thanks and call me later this week so I can check out your ride.
