6spd or auto?

The T88 and T78 are ancient turbo technology. The SP74 will do 800rwhp via a 6spd no problem, but the SP76 is overkill (and therefore not worth the extra lag).

Yep, no problem with a 6spd...just keep your foot (mostly) off the gas during the long road trip...since I'd have to assume that you won't be running race fuel during that drive.

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.
