Ice Performance was made up of myself, Gerald and Nigel. Gerald and Nigel ran the day to day business while I was a silent partner who provided a base car for them to work on and display some workmanship. Nigel then purchased the Supra and rebuilt it ground up to what people knew as the "Damn" Supra. Damn was the first RWD Supra in the country to break the 10 sec barrier when it ran a 10.91@129MPH on Nitto 275s at Heathcote. That was pretty much straight after making 595rwkw at AutoSalon back in 05. The car was then detuned and made a few visits to Sandown where I believe it made a best time of 1:21.

My car ran a best of 10.47@133MPH when it was making 495rwkw but never cracked into the 9s when it ran a max power of 617rwkw because of traction issues on the Nitto 275s. According to HPI Magazine, I was the 4th fastest GTR in the country and the fastest street registered GTR in AU. We did eventually manage a best of 10.7@142MPH though which we were quite impressed in. Mind you, I was running stock R33 GTR suspension in the car so we couldn't really expect to have a record breaking car.

Ice Performance dissolved in 06 when Nigel then started Racingline Motorsport with Karl which later closed up in 07.

Carry on.

I"m pretty sure Damn supra wasnt the first to break the 10sec, that was Nabil's 8THSIN supra with a 10.4 @142mhp and 430rwkw on MT ET Streets. Also Nigels car had 390rwkw when he ran the 10 sec pass not 500+

this is a clear example of how torque eats fuel...not power.

my old engine ran easily on the 700 SARD injectors...but once we re-did the set-up we ran out of injector at the same power level. But instead of a peaky torque curve it was dead flat and didn't drop away.

so with the same power output the engine that produces the most torque for longer will need more fuel.

Were you on crack when you posted this??

At 6000rpm you have a 20ms period available at 3000rpm you have double that period.
