Default Supercharged 5.0 gets SMOKED b



My friends T78 vs a guy with a Paxton supercahrged 5.0. I'm not sure about other mods, but he said something about a 330 motor? or 331? Also has Trikflow manifold and claimed hwas pushing 18psi. Supra was only running 22psi with a mix for pump and Cam2. Straight cam 2 is good for 28 psi (roughly 650rwhp). </P>


The guy was talking a lot of s**t from the start so theydecided to both settle it on the street. I only got one race which was from a stop. The second one was from a roll and it was worse for the Mustang<IMG src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0">. Enjoy the vid</P>


oh also....they are both running bf drag radials</P>


</P>

all im saying with the ONLY is that he has potential for rougly 80-90rwhp if he upped his boost to 28PSI

hehe. not a problem for a singled supra on race gas. 650rwhp is nothing special when it comes to Singled Supra's<IMG src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0">

nice argument. ive gotta say that hes right...call it dyno queen all you want, supra is a smart car. not insane *** displacement, but still can do some damage with just a turbo. not trying to say displacement isnt a good thing, but supras are alright in my book. <edited><editID>Jugador</editID><editDate>37871.9827893519</editDate></edited>

Abdel - no, he doesn't drive a blown hemi at all. He's talking s**t. He doesn't even drive his Saturn anymore since he broke the differential trying to break into the 15's.

30 psi isn't insane boost on an engine that's built to take it.
Unfortunately a lot of mustang owners think that the 5.0 is the end-all of strong motors because they can do 6-8 psi reliably on stock internals, and 10 psi or so with a little bit of work.
Toyota makes some of the most stout bottom ends out there. I'd certainly like to pick up a late model Supra. Not only is it reliable and fast, but it's good looking too.
