04 E55 vs 98 supra TT bpu+++
Got my e55 about 4 months ago my brother has a 98 Supra TT Bpu +++ and is ready for single install in days.
We have raced many times but he with not even pull up on me anymore.
Last race is day we both got new BFG drag radials on. The Supra was running half 91 and half 104 so he must have been boosting in the 22lbs range? " it's his baby not mine" Started from dead stop E55 pulled hard thru his 1,2,3 but in fourth Supra seemed to be pulling and was deading dooring me at his 5th shift and we shut down. I think we both have alot of respect for the cars.
I just got 55 gallons of 104 for the E55 will see if it helps. We have also went from 0 to E55 shut down at which time supra seemed to hit after burner to speeds not able to post. Asked why said he was already there with road to spare.

My buddy Jesus ran a 425rwhp BPU Supra in his '03 E55 and did the same thing you did, slaughtered him out of the hole, but the Supra started holding ground on the top end.
My understanding of the E55 is it will not benefit from racegas. It's not like the Supra where it will keep increasing timing until it sees knock, it has set timing maps and will only retard timing if it feels knock, not increase it. I have not verified this personally though.
I will be really anxious to run some Supras and other such cars around here in Chicago once I get my hands on a W211 E55.
