        I can guarantee an ESP legal Supra, will NOT DO 400Hp at the wheels.
        Most of these cars without boost control will lay down
290-320Hp...thats it.
        I have seen the extremely rare MK4 on a dyno, that will turn 330-340
with open intake and exhaust, but they are not the norm.
        You can consider me a very serious expert on the Supra...owning
three.
