How would you build a -1.2 69 camaro? With the parts that have been proven to work by the people that worked on their car until it was a 1.2 under combo.
My point is that ANY new car toyota or not, that is included in the guide and first pass is -1.2 you have to wonder, was it the person or the factoring?
This is even different than finding a combo that is a ringer that nobody else saw/built. Anybody CAN build a low factored car (my mustang.....) but it's obvious the factoring is soft on 302 2bbls. They were in the guide and nobody built them, hp lowered and they get built with the intent of the ahfs will level it back out.
One person builds a toyota and qual #1. More people build the same car and either (1) they too are also -1.00 which means the factoring is soft, or (2) they are just running the index which proves the -1.2 by another person was the builder not the factoring.
A third scenario is, some guys would run -1.2 regardless of what they build because they have unlimited resources....if so, this would be proven by scenario (2)
If you are in the third scenario department, when someone else builds one, it will be obvious as well. Good luck regardless of how it turns out, you have put in the leg work!
