The Toyota Supra MK5 has redefined what a modern sports car can achieve on the drag strip. With its turbocharged B58 engine and aggressive tuning potential, the Drag Toyota Supra MK5 is a force to be reckoned with in straight-line racing. Whether you're a professional drag racer or an enthusiast looking to push limits, this guide explores how to transform the MK5 into a quarter-mile dominator.  

Why the MK5 Supra Excels in Drag Racing  

Unlike its predecessor, the Drag Toyota Supra MK5 benefits from a lightweight chassis and a 3.0L twin-scroll turbocharged inline-6 engine. Stock, it produces 382 HP, but with simple modifications, it can easily surpass 600+ HP, making it a fierce competitor in drag racing. Key advantages include:  

- Engine Responsiveness: The B58 engine handles increased boost pressure and tuning exceptionally well.  

- Aerodynamic Design: The factory rear spoiler and wide stance improve high-speed stability.  

To turn a stock MK5 into a drag-ready beast, focus on these modifications:  

1. Turbo Upgrades – Larger turbos or hybrid turbo kits eliminate lag and maximize power.  

2. ECU Tuning – Custom remapping (e.g., JB4, BM3) unlocks hidden horsepower.  

3. Fuel System – Upgraded high-flow fuel pumps and injectors ensure consistent performance.  

4. Drag Tires – Slick or radial tires provide maximum grip for explosive launches.  

5. Weight Reduction – Removing rear seats and replacing body panels with carbon fiber improves power-to-weight ratio.
