  1. Is your Supra a 6spd or an auto?
  2. Do you mean 800rwhp (=940hp) OR 800hp (=680rwhp)?
  3. What is your intended application for this vehicle? (eg. top speed, roadracing, drag racing, autocross, drifting, daily driver, etc.)
  4. How important is appearance and creature comforts such as stereo/custom dash/widebody/etc. ('bling' can suck up a significant portion of your budget)?
As I hope you would assume, I'm not asking these questions just to be nosy. To be budget-efficient, all modifications must be designed to compliment your Supra's intended usage. Also, please keep in mind if you answer "800rwhp, all of the above" to my questions, (unfortunately) your stated figure won't be nearly enough. Here's an example:
http://www.speedforsale.com/viewcar.php?vid=248
(don't look at the selling price; look at the stated investment - 2nd line in the title)
...and then please notice that this is 'only' a ~700rwhp vehicle. The reason it cost so much is because it was built for roadracing+dragracing+show, with an equally meticulous emphasis on all three.

800 hp, 75000 is the most i have to spend on it at the moment but im gettin around 150000 in total to upgrade it, road racing, and for now appearance and sound systems are my second priority, im gna do a bit racing before adding all the extra weight that comes with appearance.

  1. Is your Supra a 6spd or an auto?
  2. Do you mean 800rwhp (= 940hp 6spd , 1065hp auto) OR 800hp (= 680rwhp 6spd , 640rwhp auto)?

Last question (for now) I promise: What did you think of the 'bpu' modifications I posted here:
http://www.toyota-supra.info/forums/...47&postcount=2
?

The reason I ask is because, although they won't get you to 800hp, they will get you enough rwhp for a fun (and VERY reliable) roadrace vehicle.
