No reliability issues whatsoever. If all you want is a dyno number, then you can hit four digits (on a chassis dyno) with the oem internals - all you need for internal mods is a ported head and aftermarket cams.

The oem connecting rods are the least strong component, and may fail with nitrous usage over 1000hp.

Yes. In fact, 1000hp, RELIABLY, is no issue whatsoever (850rwhp through the getrag V160 6spd)...using the oem internals. Of course, you'll need high octane race fuel, an aftermarket fuel system, an aftermarket single turbo kit, and some wider rims & rubber to hold the power.

Please review this info, and then let me know what follow-up questions you have. I believe that this will be an interesting discussion!

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
