Hey wassup guys, I was helping set up for International Auto Salon in Long Beach, and I just saw a red Celica w/ the blitz supercharger kit on it. NO BS! The Red Celica has no kit, but has 18" rims and a few gauges on it's pillar. He only had his hood popped open for a few minutes, and I saw what resembled the pics that have been circulating in the FI forum, and of course I saw the huge blitz front mount intercooler. Some asian guy with a blonde chick was driving it. I'll take some pics tomorrow when I go back!!!!!

Think about this. Bryan H was hitting low 13's with a 50 shot, hot air intake and custom exhaust. He had traction problem during the entire 1/4. With a LSD the car should easily get these numbers if not better. With a built engine we can up the boost and easily pull 12's. That is a very reachable goal and what I'm shooting for. If I can pull 12's and have the car pull in 6th more and put the needle past the 160 mph mission will be accomplished. The Celica is not a drag car and I don't want the hassle of a turbo. I'm a road racer and S/C will do that duty quite well. The Celica does like to get on the highway and pull some mad top end. I have pulled the car to 156mph INDICATED. I have since put on some lightweight wheels, S-AFC and RSM. I know I can hit 160 INDICATED with my set-up in the right weather. Anyways I'm building the motor and only need the Blitz and Power FC. Sorry so long. Just get antzy!!!

There are few local guys who need to be put in there place. No one has the rocks to do it and my car does not have the good to do it yet. I can see the light and dropped jaws now.

4PASNU: How are you getting over 150mph?? Going down hill? We deep redline 5th at about 145. How are you getting any more power to pull in 6th with your mods?

That pic has been around for a while. I believe the story behind it is that the car is in 6th, going down a very long (several miles) downhill section of freeway late at night.

Since when are stock speedometers at all accurate at such high speeds?

Racinjason, I went out one morning on a stretch of highway where people are none to open there cars or bikes up. This section of road is about 2 miles long flat and barriers on both sides to keep cops out. I unbolted the exhaust and went for it. The conditions outside were perfect. At the end I was at 155 to 156 INDICATED but pulled out when the road opened up. As you know an open exhaust will help you on top end considerably. Remember I said INDICATED INDICATED INDICATED but the last time I was on dyno my speedometer was only off by 5.??%. I just put in my RSM a few days ago so I will be going out to see what I can really get the car to do.

Can't wait to see the pics. Hopefully, there are actually a decent number of Celicas at that show, instead of ALL RSXs like every other car show this year.
