Anecdotal evidence is not evidence. Things revving rfaster feels faster. It is not.

from what i've read, lighter flywheel = quicker shifting/acceleration and heavier = better for initial jump from a stop.

He could also go as simple as upgrading the fuel delivery, ecu and all that.
There is plenty to do to a car for performance that no matter what way you go you'll have a difference. Just make sure you do it right the first time, don't upgrade if your going to replace it later with something better. For instance the Stage 1 clutch your talking about, might as well go for something that can handle higher HP, otherwise its a waste of cash. Another example is your CAI (Cold Air Intake) get a filter that is high performance compared to a no-name Ebay filter. you''l just end up wanting the high end and replacing the crap filter.

Fucking Darworth beat me to everything I was gonna say except the most important part which is the photo shoot where you pay a local stripper to wear a bikini and pose next to your car somewhere cool.

you guys are dicks, but I love you all. From what i've read, stage 1,2,3 mods are usually mean nothing when mentioned in the kits. the stages represent the level of modification done to the vehicle.

And i could post a picture, but it should be easy to "google" 89 supra. I have the very uncommon "white" package supra with the targa top and is a turbo.

Also, I might go for just a stage 2 disk with a heavier aluminum or light steel (i want it to be about 15-20lbs, definitely not as heavy as the stock, I don't need that much weight to get the car going from a stop) with spring activate pads (4 probably).

I am a fan of Imports, I also love our domestics. I hope you have fun modding your vehicle, I know I did. Are you installing all this by yourself or with a friend? Putting in the wrench work is ten times more satisfying, and half of the fun! Doing the research on your car has its entertaining aspects as well. Good luck bro!!

Yeah I'm curious if this is a DIY? Getting a Z car myself in the near future, saw a pretty sweet DIY vortech supercharger kit.... >.>
