If he did a little headwork and added a good aftermarket cam he would probably pick up some reall good hp, I mean 11s on a basically stock small block is excellent.

Mullet Trash. I hate seeing small blocks (or stroked 343s w/ nitorus and turbo like what happened to my old RX-7 :()in imports. Now if it were an iForce V8 TT, then I would be impressed...

Why is he a moron? He stated that it was a budget car. You try to make the same power out of a 1JZ as a twin turbo 350, and you're gonna find yourself in some financial situations that only Donald Trump could get out of.

BTW...I realize you can make obscene power from a 1JZ. And can even make more power than he has with his 350. However, I'm simply referring to the price tag on it.

Bah, Mr1der, you are so uninformed!

It blows HGs because the headbolts are not torqued down enough from the factory. It just takes one day to retorque the bolts, no more Headgasket troubles... If you get ARP headbolts and a metal HG, even less of a chance to get a BHG, you'll get one ever again.

The 7m-gte is a good engine, you can get 600hp out of it easy, and lots of torque too because like the KA, its a "trunk" engine :D

I'd like to see his 350 v8 rev up to 10k :D

btw, that must be a huge budget hes on...

didn't he say that he was making 450hp? A 1JZ can make that no problem... probably for less than his v8...

But how much torque is he making? HP sells cars, torque wins races :)

I was expecting a twin turbo Lexus 4.3L V8, but Ive seen the mkiii before. Nice car.

The tri-turbo Supra is insane. I was thinking about doing a tri turbo SR...

All the custom work he had to do probably didn't make it worth it.
