Got a set of FD rims for $150 that will be used for my drag setup. They are the lighter (non-reinforced) version which should make for a pretty nice poor man's drag setup. Apparently they weigh 13.8lbs each (15.2 if they were the reinforced). Will eventually get some slicks mounted on them. Thanks for the rims Nick (Cornfed2.4).

Here's a pic of Supra who used these for a poor man's drag setup.

Small update.
Was bored last night so decided to install the 2nd 255hp. Everything appears to be working fine, and fits great. The Y that I bought, not really liking it because my hoses had to go all loopy just to ensure no kinks. So will probably rework it this winter.
Also went over to Kerry's today to swap springs with him. Suspension is now stock Supra springs all around, with some new Bilstein shocks. It's known as an excellent poor mans suspension setup for an SC. Car sits a little higher than it used to now (had eibachs before), but about 1" lower than stock. Should be perfect once I get some side skirts and lips put on the bumpers. Also leaves room for some more rubber. Car feels like a "Lexus" now with this suspension, I'm loving it so far. The old shocks were trash.

Decided to clean up the front calipers.
Before, during. and after pics attached. Although I haven't applied the clear yet, will do that tomorrow.
