forgot cams, a set of 264 degree HKS with some new lifters on a ebuilt and tricked out head will help your cause. Provided the bottom end is still tight you should be in the 300hp neighborhood. The stock supra core isn't that efficient though, you might want to look to the aftermarket for your refridgeration needs.
