A 3.0 engine on pump fuel does not make 800+ HP, we are talking no load dyno queens on race fuel. Real world 93 octane about 550ish RWHP, no, not chump change. There is only ONE Supra in the pump gas shoot-out and he is DNF for more than a decade

This goes all the way back to the LS1 days, the Supra boys always claiming some mythical number, I HAVE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD OF A STREET SUPRA TURING A DECENT 1/4 MILE TIME PERIOD. The average mod Supra on the street running OEM trans and diff and pump gas, with the factory A/C working was making about 400 WHP...
