Default 1989 Supra project, once again impressed

just wanting to get some facts.


the car was in a little fender bender and the owner sold some parts off of the car. it has the non-turbo 7mge, auto tranny.

is this info accurate for the rear end? even thou said car in non-turbo with automatic? what can this rear end hadle hp wise. this will not be a drag car.
Ring Gear Diameter: 8"
Gear Ratio: 3.727:1
Number of Pinion Gears: 4
Limited Slip: Yes

i want to road corse this car with around 500whp. on a turbo 7mge. (good idea?) what are the limits on this motor and possibilities? i also want to run the original manual tranny? Good tranny or not?
any info given here or links are appriciated.

but as stated, once again i am impressed with Toyota. if above info is accurate. damn thats good. how many so called sports cars have come out with highway gears and open rear ends. the upper control arms on the car are aluminum. 3.73 is a good road corse gear in my opinion and limited slip as factory standard is great. Double wishbone suspention front and back a ++. i will not bs, i do not know much about Toyotas products (exept that its great stuff), like tech info, but i do admit i need some assistance in learning these things.

thanks
