I have a friend who was just givin an stx coupe. He says that it does come with a different stroke and cams. I didn't belive him, so , he took me for a ride. He only has an intake and that thing pulls way harder than my st. For even more testing, I raced him. To my surprise he won by a 3/4 to 1 carlength. I have full exhaust with no cat and a resonator. He also said it has different gearing, but I did'nt pay attention to where he shifted in my ride along. He also said it comes with stiffer suspension and that it came from the factory with an unclearcoated front bumper. Also his is like 190 something of like 250. So, uh, I'm really confused.

Hehe... BTW: Who makes cams for the 7AFE? Unless it's custom... NOBODY DOES. Curious why you guys keep bringing it up. Just so you know, toyota FE heads don't respond well to any bolt-on modifications... dyno proven. You'll get maybe 5-10 hp TOTAL... I've built 2 Celica ST's to date so I've been around the engine with a highly built motor and a mildly tuned motor, and I just don't see it as a big performance engine with the stock head in n/a trim. Narrow angle design, limited cam timing, no great flow or induction, weak valvetrain, PURE ECONO motor... explain to me how you could possibly classify this car... or to be more exact, this motor, to be anything related to performance? Do that, and tell me your exact mods, which I'll tell you now, I HAVE done before (cause I've done just about everything possible to the 7AFE n/a, with exception to cams), and maybe someone here will believe you. Sounds more like you're just a bunch of high-school kids all into the current fad racing scene, as you list ignition wires and such as performance parts...  With that said... your friend cannot beat me... the only thing I lack, is my S-AFC... which limits me back to my stock econo fuel maps. Even still... my car will run low 16's without hesitation... and that's saying something with regard to these car's. As for engines... who brought up the 2JZ? It's like comparing apples and oranges... when comparing the 2JZGTE to the 3SGTE. FYI... the 2JZ is a renowned DRAG motor... while the 3SGTE is a TRACK motor. Know your differences before you start going off on numbers. I'll tell you now... a 1200 whp Supra ain't gonna beat a 500 whp MR-2 or Celica on the track... a little something called traction. To finish... I know you're not trying to talk shiat or anything like that, but some people here know their stuff... and if you're gonna argue against the contrary, you better know you're stuff and have the experience to back it up... a bit beyond asking everyone to take your word for it... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
