It's a 383. The problem with turbo supra conversions is that they are not low end torque engines. You have to spool the turbos up, and then hold on. I make most of my torque at about 3000-3500 rpms and have about 360 ft-lbs just off idle. If I'm stuck in the mud I don't want to wait for the turbos. I want to blip the throttle and immediately clean the tires. When i stand on the skinny pedal, my axles want to back flips and run away right out of the chute. There was actually a method to my madness... Except for the lift, even I admit that I went over board.
