also i just want some pointers on difference between hp, and rwhp. i know that rwhp stands for rear-wheel-horse-power, but i just want to know the main differences. thanks.
1) What is the MOTOR octane of that "98 octane pump fuel"? This is critical - we need to find this out or I can't tell you how much boost you can run with it. Most likely that 98 is RESEARCH octane, not MOTOR octane.
2) If you don't like alcohol injection, what about water injection?

rwhp is your horsepower at the rear tires. most times when simple "hp" (horsepower) is referred to - like in new car ads - they're talking about horsepower at the crankshaft - before any drive line loss. Also, automatic transmissions have a larger driveline loss than standard transmissions. For a standard transmission, the loss is about 15%. For an auto, it depends on a lot of things, like the stall of the torque converter...but that's usually about 20% total drive line loss and it can be up to 30% loss.

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.
