I shudder when people talk about anything above 350 HP and use the words.. "cheaply"...

Agreed - take too many shortcuts and the result is melted, twisted, expensive engine parts (or worse)...which ends up much more expensive in the long run than doing it right in the first place. It's a lesson that some guys have to go through the hard way though.

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.
