    very good points andvery nice supra you own also, however i bought a gs400 rear end geard at 3.26 versus the na auto rear end at 3.77, how do i knwo this lil information i researched it. But i would have had it changed however there schedule was booked up. since you was there you witnessed teh idle issue they was having and saw my witness there. but i asked mike and dave if there would be any issues and i got "no as long as you dont touch the boost controller your fine" so liek anyone else who picks up there car from a shop i was confident in the work done and left. however you make good points, but remember this is the same tranny i drove from Topspeed with aith the na auto rear and never before has the first motor overheated and i had the car for 2 weeks. in those 2 weeks i drove from home to work on the setup. i live in stockbridge but i work in east point "army" so if it was teh tranny id figure i would have seen this problem before you know..........but thanks for your comments
