Hey Iconic, badass car you have there!
I will be ordering one this year and basically looking to do exactly what you’re doing now: pulley, E85, off road exhaust, tint and wheels/tires. Trying not to go to the 1100rwhp extreme I took my ‘14 GT500.
What is your review of the car now vs. stock?
How do you like the Toyos overall? Which size R888Rs did you go with?
I’m used to having DRs on everything, so I’m hoping the weight, DCT and lower rpm torque makes the Toyo work best for a street/roll car.
Last, what are your next planned upgrades?
Hope to see you at an event this year. I saw the 1/2 mile at SGMP, I’d love to try it out.

The car is fantastic. still drives and rides like stock which is phenominal already.
so ill go 1 x 1
Exhaust, i love mine, i feel it lets the car beathe up top vs stock config, plus custom, plus i know the work and supported locally. I still get to be ultra quiet in quiet mode for the neighbors or when 5.0 is round, or just want to chill.

pulley: im on the fence. the 2.75 is absoloutley perfect, i get no belt slip, its a monster on pumpgas and with E, as you saw, its plenty fast for a street car- so i could say with 15 psi, your not gonna hurt anything for a long long time, if at all. I plan on going to a 2.65 soon, but my concern is belt slip, although i havent seen the pbd car with slip, only the lunds, so im thinking ill be ok with that. Ill have to see how IAT look on orange car, but i think since im adding an icetank anyway, it should still be good.

injectors, well, you know, you just need em if you want to go for more,so yes, buy em

tires- here is where is 85/15. I love them at this power level, if i air them down, they will hook and do the 1.6 60's from a dig, AND hook from a roll. however, at 25+psi, they will not. so you have to be prepared. i have not tried a really warmed up tire at 800+ on 25+tire psi to see just how bad they are. Ill have to get back to you on that. They do have a slight HUMM when driving down the road aired up, its noticable, but definitly not annoying. I can live with that. especially if exhaust is in anything other than quiet, you wont notice it.. The other positive, is unlike with an DR or other sticky tire, i still get to KNOW with confidence the car is gonna stay put if i get aggressive with the lefty righty stuff

I think thats it. Immidiatly ill be doing the 2.65 and an ice tank. after that, down the road, when lutches are out, ill do that+ ported TB/blower and possibly headers. thats it. i dont want to have to worry, and i think it stay with my original intent of a relaibel fast street car, 800-850 on pump 900-950 on E, call it a day

Excellent man, really glad to hear your impressions.
I think you’re off to a great start with the car. It’s definitely the best platform we’ve had to start from.
