Damn. You should be squeezing out more power with a more free flowing exhaust.

Ever thought of running a true-dual 2.5" all the way back? That might help you pick up a few more ponies.

Yeah, I love the Nismo exhaust... but that seems it would be hindering this setup. Nonetheless, dyno plots up and get some sound clips! I WANT TO HEAR! Haha.

Wow, absolutely amazing, I dont even think the guys in Japan have gone this far. A company like Top Secret didn't even achieve this much with all their knowledge. Insane credit goes to you and your crew. This is very influential on this community to say the least. Now post some videos so we can hear that monster.

I can't believe all of you are believing this w/out pics. Doesn't it seem a little odd that the build happened so quick and that he doesn't even post a single pic or dyno chart?

BTW...to the OP, whatever happened to the Supra that you JUST bought?

Top Secret= 354 hp at 6,300 rpm on an N/A VQ35DE (Z33)

They dropped it in a Skyline R32 GTR though.

1st if you read the previous post you would understand why no pictures and when I am posting them as I have not even went to get my car yet.

2nd if you read my signature you would see I sold the Supra! (for a substantial profit none the less)

I doubt you'll see any significant gains with a true dual vs a Y pipe + catback. The Y pipe is big enough and the catback is 3 inches - should be more than enough

When you get a chance, can you double check the cam specs? It would seem to me that with such a bump in displacement and compression, even with those cams, you should have a much wider power band.
