They're definately getting easier to mod as time goes on, you can now order a 1400hp setup proven adn delivered to your door that your local installer can install, upload the map to the ECU and fire the car up. With that being said they're not cheap by any means to modify, however the end results usually far out weigh the cost.

If I had my way I would also have a 6spd sitting in my garage..

I can vouch for that g-force, I ve been lucky enough to get a ride in this jet and yea its so fast when I get out of the car my whole body is num

Titan 3.4L Stroker Motor (complete longblock) / Virtual Works Intake / VW or Full Race Exhaust Manifold / Fuel System / GT47-88 can be purchased assembled and shipped anywhere in the US. Granted it's about 30-40k but the results speak for themselves in an automatic or 6spd.

vincentdds has a reputation beyond repute

$40K is nothing if the car drives like it should.. Awesome.
So I am expecting similar cars like Ryan Woon's roaming around the streets.

I believe there have been about 35-40 of the stroker kits sold, about half have been delivered so far I believe so quite a few on the streets and plenty more in the works.

Anyone who can appreciate the space constraints where you are plumbing all that, can understand the amount of craftsmanship involved with the fabrication. Very nice. Now for the charge piping, is it going to be 3"?. Curious to see where the rear turbo's piping is going to go.

Amazing progress, I imagine they'll prob have to cut/weld an angle into the front compressor housing for the rear turbo in order to route it forward.... Man, the craftmanship does look amazing on that piping so far....

I wanted the entire header/exhaust out of inconel like the F40 has, but Steve was 'dead set' on his materials!!

The twin Tial 46mm wastegates are going on today..I will have more pictures shortly...

I never thought that this thread would receive the interest that it has. I will keep posting new photos (to a certain point) as they are taken..Thanks everyone for a great thread!

Note: If you own a supra, please post some photos on this thread...

Lol...awesome thread so far. Since you asked, here was mine as well. Nothing too crazy since it was only BPU ~ 420HP, no boost controller. Sold it and will be looking into a E46 M3. I'm only 22 so it's still taking some time before I can save enough for a 911 TT...the house needs to come first.
