Not just boost...horsepower too. The NA driveline (transmission, diff, etc.) doesn't have anywhere near the capability of the TT driveline.

Agreed.

For what it's worth, I do recommend nitrous, but ONLY if it's done right. You need to spray wet (not dry), and ensure ALL of the electronic controls are in place (WOT, RPM window switch, solenoid test buttons, timing retard (depending on shot size) etc.), AND sufficient time dyno-tuing, in order for it to be safe. If you do all of that, it's a great way to make additional power.

Agreed. This will let you run more boost on pump gas.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
