8.7 1/4 mile is very very very fast.

Are you sure.

wondering if there is a way to turn off the traction control completely with the ASR button pushed...

wondering about raising the shift points and rev. limit

we have a chassis dyno here, and the nitrous kit is working perfectly with no signs of lean or detination..we are on this forum to find out if there are any electronic nerds that would be able to help us with tricking the ASR and raise the shift points

You need a smaller pulley not a bigger one.

A smaller pulley will make it turn faster.

Was an E300TD, now a Lexus LS400
You'd be better off selling it and buying a TVR Cerbera instead.

i'm sorry sir, i think you are incorrect. a larger pulley on the crankshaft will turn the supercharger faster, a smaller pulley on the supercharger will also make the supercharger turn faster but, due to an electric clutch on the supercharger i felt that there would be a greater chance to get a larger crank pulley
