I blew the doors off of some grand national or something like that last night. It was for fun and from a roll on at about 10-15 mph. i took him by at least 6-8 cars in a matter of 10 seconds. My buddy Jack saw that whole thing from following us in his car and said he could not hear after it was over. We raced in a tunel and it was loud from what i was told....HAHA. Just some late night fun.
Oh, yeah it was in the MR2, I did not have the celica out this year yet.

For whoever said it:

The F-Body (Camaro/Firebird line) got the TPI 305 in 1986 with the TPI 350 following in 87. Check your facts. I know because my primary vehicular interest lies with the GM F-Body. I've owned a total of 5 ranging from 84 to 99.

The GN has a VERY large underground following in the domestic world now, and yes, they were 3.8L V6 with a turbo on them.

You're off by one year Fastbird. The Camaro Z28 got TPI in 1985. I had an '85 Z28 back in the late 80's and drag raced that car every weekend for two summers. I poured every dollar I made into that car and barely broke into the 14's with it. Needless to say, I didn't make much money back then so I didn't do any major mods. Mostly bolt on stuff. It wasn't a fast car at all, but I had a blast racing every week!

I'll take your word there. I couldn't remember whether it was 85 or 86 that the TPI 305 came out. Dang it.
