Screw that. Save your money and buy 3 or 4 stickers. You could have a 10 second car in less than $50 if you get the right ones.

i dunno guys, i don't think the type r stickers are compatible with scions...i suggest you go with trd stickers. or you can put type r and trd stickers side by side.

^^^ nooo~ you know you can't put them together. The power balance will be all wrong and you'll lose horsepower with the two stickers!

You got to stick with one brand. After that, you should get some nitrogen filled tires along with the high performance chips on ebay. oh oh, don't forget the WD-40 purge valve and premium octane fuel.

With a setup like that, you'll be running in the low 9s easy.

You forgot the "Earth" magnets on the Fuel supply lines, 4 prong spark plugs, and a Bi-level wing thats another 50 HP there, you could break into the 8's then.

After some in depth research, I have discovered this.

Placement of sticker is much more important than brand. True, some brands are not compatible, but if you place them properly, they will still work. Take for instance, the Type R and TRD stickers. Clearly, every one knows that if you put them on side by side, you will have TRDTypeR, which will cause an extreme loss in horse power. I decided to reverse this to TypeRTRD and notice a nice increase in HP. I haven't had this dyno'd yet, but I'm 100% sure I've increased by 30%. Also, make sure that you have an even balance of stickers. If you have an Injen vinyl on 1 side, make sure you evenly place another Injen vinyl on the opposite side. Not doing this could cause your car to roll at a hi speed.

I hope this helps. Peace, and drive safe with your super fast hot rods!!
