    Screw traction.....if you want to stay anywhere near the powerband, you'll be shifting at 5000 rpm, and you will be losing all sorts of acceleration due to the gearing issue.

                  last i heard it was the gtx bottomend, n/a head, stock gtx injectors (370 i believe), gtx manifolds (I/E) with vj-20, Izusu NPR FMIC. best track time was 13.8-9 on street tires. i do think it was fully gutted too. i had the video around about a year ago before my computer crashed.

                    while you're out there, you might as well adjust your air/fuel ratio by smell... and your tire pressure by ride height
