With those VIS on, not gonna have the launch for 10's
I'm waiting for him to ring it. I want to know what he has planned for his suspension. Doesn't seems like he is building it for drag.

Yea justin is a 5sgte, I'm looking for the fastest 5sfte. Looking to tackle that record next year, if i can ever get my car out of the bo dy shop to start working on the engine.
I know 5sgte will lead to more power but i like the challenge of taking the Camry motor and just building that motor to its max without swapping or anything, should be fun

Originally posted by SmokingTiresV6 Yeah, but he has to keep it on the ground too. Maybe highrise in the back? Keep all the weight forward. Some big slicks.
That's gonna be some hard shit. Justin, where are you?
lurking...
Dont worry I have something up my sleeves...
My suspension is 32way adjustable on the fly... running 1000+lb spring in the back to fight weight transfer...
and yes its a street and strip car... The Wraith will see some street duties for meets and a night trolling running... I have a couple of more goodies to unleash on the car... I should have here put together and running by my birthday in November...
but as of right now my buddy Tony is the man to beat ...
Other than Justin (Wraith), I haven't seen any other person in the Camry community who has put in so much dedication into modding the Camry. No doubt Justin will reach 10's eventually, it's just a matter of time. And from his resources, he has enough dough to fund his hobby anyway
My Camry on the other hand, I will be happy if my Camry runs 12's as is (full street trim). But one of my goal is to trap at least 135 mph I am not turning my car into a race car, so 10's is out of my reach in a 3100+ lb FWD car. I chose to turbocharge the V6 mainly because I want a top-end puller so I can school all those blown V8's in my area up top on the highway -- those were also the V8's that I couldn't beat with my Integra by the way. And I ran out of mods on my Integra as far as NA goes
In order to make big power with a 4 cyl, it takes every bit of perfection to make it run right and reliably because the horspower per cylinder is much higher. Generally speaking, making power with a larger motor is far easier if the goal was upwards of 400 HP/TQ. And for racing up top (highway speeds), the torque numbers are very important and a bigger V6 motor is just the engine of choice

Sean McElligott's '93 ES 300 5spd runs high 13's. Low 13's with NOS.

I wish i can be as wise as all your hardcore camry lovers. I will be when i finish my ASE stuff (hopefully) which will be nov 05 lol. havn't really learned enough stuff to apply the knowledge to my car. All i really want to do is something similar to Tony which is to beat those American muscle V8's nothing against them but most people with their 350 engines are full of themselves.
Considering trading up for a gen 4 v6 or sticking with my gen 3.5 i4 right now.

"Cruising in style" with a T66?? Damn, Tony...you have some high expectations for cruising. What speed do you plan on "cruising" at?? 180-200kph?? But still....mad respect to you, Tony, mad respect.
I probably could've run 13's if i didn't disintigrate my blower. I'll be back in the hunt soon, not enough time or money for my car lately. Tony and Justin have really inspired me to come out with something much much better than before though
