not very good ones...the TRD exhaust only adds like 2-3 whp to the already dismal 130-ish that an automatic tC has

are you gonna run all stock besides the trd exhaust, which will do virtually nothing....gutting the car? drag radials? i would guess low 16's.....

18s will probably hurt you more than anything (even with the summer tires). They're likely a heavier wheel... sooo... slower.

And I doubt the exhaust will even get you 2-3 hp... maybe 1-2, if you could even measure it.

dont expect much outta just running stock with a trd exhaust and 18's you'd maybe run about high 17's to 18's even 19's it depends

you're better off autoxing! but its always nice to see where you start off at as far as power is concerned and then with every upgrade see whether or not your power has improved at the track, see if your times have improved...along with a dyno of course...

thats probably the only time i would really drag my car is if i did some kind of engine modification to it...other than that i stay away from straight line...that just me though...autox doesnt require engine modifications really just suspension and tires... power can come later
