yeah i got the plug wires for the miata i built this week here in phoenix from SRD , their turbo civic runs 10s and is street legal i believe, i was enjoying the fun of picking on ricers in the 300+rwhp miata all week, i will be driving it to colorado to allow flying miata to do the final dyno tuning on the car, SRD was all booked up on dyno time, when i was in there ordering the magnacores there was a guy in there with a 320hp integra, and a 350hp elicpse turbo, the car scene is alot better here in phoenix/scottsdale, i seen my firrst ferrari 575 yesterday

i dont miss phoenix much, but i do miss the cars. I love the fact that i can see a mint 67 Camaro going down the road in mid december.
When you were at SRD was there a guy there with two huge gauged spools in his ears? his name is Kyle and drives a black turbo charged JDM civic. When i went to school with him he was talking about getting a job there so i'm curious as to if he ever got it.

there are a few supras that made it to around 800 hp. The owners did it more as an experiment cause if they want more they usually buy a different block, or they use block fillers which aren't the best thing to do. Supras are good for one thing, highway running from 90ish and 170.

Incorrect information, please read your own referance material first the block that you quote is a race preped block(Titan built street/race specification engine: forged pistons, billet connecting rods, fully assembled, balanced, all new gaskets, seals, water pump, oil pump) the lowerend of that motor has been altered hense it is not a stock block. To my knowledge mike carlons supra is the highest hp stock block supra out there http://www.to4r.com/member.php?show=mike.carlin he is pushing a very nice 980 hp, but 980rwhp is not 1016rwhp.
I realize this is very obscure but i met a fellow at the fl Gainsville (Super Chevy Show if i remember correctly the car was a red zr-1 dont remember the year) raceway who had a stock block twin turbo lt5 who was pushing 1100 hp so they are definantly out there. Also realize that the lt5 was designed very strong from the begining, the whole lower end of the motor has a cage holding it together, instead of just main bearing caps.
