very cheap and fast
S-Zero can testify first hand that a straight engine swap in a MKII is not enough for 12's regardless of what someone else may CLAIM (read: B.S.). High 13's at ~103 mph is all his 7mgte powered '83 Supra could muster. Only after adding the Lexus AFM, HKS turbo upgrade and 550 cc injectors could he break 12s.
Turbo lag... the courtious head start you give your opponent.
