Not real sure where to put this. Their were no posts in the street/stip area and it also said stock. So this area covers my year of car.

I bought this car this way and was wondering how good the rear ends are in the factory turbo supra cars. I want to take it to the track to see what kind of 1/4 mile I can get out of it.

The car will be in full trim( - a/c pcs.) will also have 17" street tires. I will mix the gas 50/50

Motor is a stock 400 I think it has a small cam
sportsman heads iron, Dual plain alum intake and eld carb
th350 trans, nos plate kit, witch i will not use at this time
I am guessing at a 3.73 gear and posi from what I have read on other forums , I know it shifts fast.

the car seams to hook fairly well on the street. I would hope for some low 14s to high 13s on motor.

ALso I gather the bolt pattern for the wheels is 5x100

no idea what year/engine you are talking about.. but from everything I have read/heard/experienced... the Supra rear ends are very strong from factory.

you have a supra with a 400 cu.in. engine? The car is strong.. but thats a big motor : ) odd someone would dump that in a Supra... you can get into the 11's with modifications.. (I believe it costs about 7-10k to get it done.. less if you do it yourself) Having said that.. no idea what whp your putting out... The supra rear ends are quite strong, but have never heard of it being pushed by that kind of an engine. I wouldnt think you would have any trouble.. but thats just going from what I have read.
