You better take some video of the speedo on the freeway and you rip through the MPHs!!!

It will be a very tight fit. Worst case, I will put an diferent radiator, take out the AC( either way the AC will be on the way of teh downpipe), and mov ethe shorter radiator forward to the IC.

The car will be built properly , trust me. We have done some very sick Supras and Zs at our shop:-)
The only problem is the transmission and transfer case, but we will deal it them later, when the car is ready

500HP is too slow for me. I am used to the big sledge hammer turbos, that throw you on the back seat

I see Monsterous Lag. It might be a good drag car but it won't be a good road-racing car. Smooth power delivery will suffer.
I guess people do make Evo into drag cars, this is America after all.

Definitely NOT a road race car.

I assume you are going to invest in a lot of dyno time with this project correct.... So there will be plenty of time to try varrying exhaust configs
