If you want a good launch from a dead stop, you'll need some good drag radials (I strongly recommend BFG and not Nitto).

If you want a great launch, you might need to consider aftermarket wider-than-stock rear rims, so you can get a wider drag radial. You can fit an 11.5" wide rear rim and 315-width rubber inside the oem rear fender if you trim the fender lip a bit... (the oem rear rim is only 9.5" wide).

If you still have some $ left over after proper maintenance to your Supra and your bpu modifications, then I think nitrous is a good option. Imo, go ahead and put that $ towards getting a good 'wet' nitrous setup (with all of the electronic controls for rpm, wot, purge, heater, in-dash gauges, etc.), getting it installed properly, testing it and tuning it on the dyno. You might save this step for after you've got some experience drag racing your bpu mkiv tt.

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.
