Ok yea I do want to do the radiator and run some good oil! I will probably be letting pure automotive/ full blown tune the car on ecutek I would do hydra or ect. But I don't think ill be able to afford that after doing suspension, brakes, wheels, turbo :/ it's gonna kill me lol it's hard modifying the supra and getting into the fr-s haha

The Hydra is more affortable than you think since you don't need MAF or MAP sensor upgrades. Anyway keep an eye on what Full Blown does with their car and the Hydra. They will probably make massive power before I'm ready to take my car there.

As for oil go thicker for boosted racing for better engine protection. I'm on Redline 40wt race oil and Lightweight Shockproof in the gear box. I have a ton on racing history on thise oils and they are exceptional but so is Amsoil.

Are you tuning Hydra in house? I like the idea of a stand-alone versus a reflash. Are there any down-sides from a day-to-day driving perspective? Also - I'm interested in WMI, have you guys run this yet?

Yes of course I tune the Hydra I'm the person responsible for the calibrations Day to day driving, there are no downsides other than cruise control (it's something we are developing)? It runs great and I made +13 whp no mods just tuning the Hydra. I think the biggest advantage is that it's user tunable so while you may not be God's gift to the world of tuning if you have a minor hiccup you have the ability to go in yourself with a little guidance from me and make a tweak.

I'll have plenty of base maps free for life to the original purchaser so if you want my e85 map I raced at Road Atlanta with you can have it.....need a boosted map in the future, free. All you need is a laptop and an FTDI USB to Serial adapter.

We've had the Hydramist for years and it's the only water/meth injection system which is fully integrated into the engine management with automatic map switching, 3d pwm injection control, tuned 32x32 mapping, water flow based high and low fault, auxilliary boost level, and more. It was developed out of necessity for our race car since as a driver I knew I would never notice a problem while racing so all fault detection and map switching had to happen automatically.

Definitely Summit Point (main) is a great track and very challenging. Also don't give up an opportunity to race on Summit's Shennandoah circuit. It's tight but super fun! Jefferson is lame, leave it for the drifters LOL!
