I'm not even going to bother anymore because you obviously think the video was rigged.

indeed....to do it right, you also got to have the right tools. I'm all about the track too. But I'm about being optimal at the track also. Scion factory rubber does not make an ideal drag race. And it takes money to get the ideal tools to optimize the car. Don't have the money or the tools presently, but will in a few months time. But I'm still going to enjoy the speed enhancing I have done to this car in the mean time....

Anyway, 1/4th mile race is the best way to go, because you are going all out and competing, you cant really do that on the streets because of hazards and cops. That's why I never video races on the street because its worthless.

You don't have any videos period....now that's worthless...
Street race is going all out and competing, is it not? Not defending street challenges, just saying, is it not a competition? Usually depicted by the car that maintains an lead on the other car by a significant amount/set time limit.
Not to mention, I do go to the track, so I know about racing at the track too.

He is working on getting it this summer. He is a high school student, so money isn't a big ticket item right now when your that age...heehhe. So, he has to bribe the parents persay in to letting him work off some of his mods... I reckon we mod where and when we can. I have so many mods on the horizon that I can't even count. It takes me so long to add a mod, cause they aren't cheap, and I have a family to take care of. But I'm going to be running stuff on the ride....that I just don't see on here at all. Just takes time that's all.

A GT series turbo perhaps is what you are looking for. Like anything from a GT12 - GT25 probably. They seem to be smaller - mid sized turbine that should spool pretty good. I have no experience with them, so I don't know exactly which one would put you in those optimal range for a stock motor. Perhaps a GT22 or GT25 should spool up pretty good and still have enough on the top end. But they aren't exactly cheap.

^^Yeah Disco Potato I think would be pretty good too, but it's not going to spool at 2600rpm like he wants. Not sure what that spools at, I thought TT was running it at one point?
