Good plan!

You picked a great platform with the Mkiv Supra Turbo. It's 2jz-gte engine is an absolute rock, with proper tuning and sufficient octane to match the boost level. The record rwhp for the oem shortblock, bone-stock, is over 1000rwhp (that's almost 1200hp at the crank)! In other words, if you follow the rules (i.e. if you don't ever run medium-high or high boost on pump gas), it's actually pretty unlikely that you'll ever blow up your 2jz-gte.

In general, yes...especially for drag racing.

I wouldn't do nitrous just because it's cheap...because if you do nitrous
properly, it's actually not that cheap. When you price in the cost of a wet kit (not dry), automatic electronic rpm limits, purge kit, separate test switches for your fuel solenoids, in-dash electronic nitrous pressure gauge, bottle blanket, plus proper installation, testing & tuning, it isn't what I'd call a cheap proposition. Again, I do recommend it in general, but only if you do it right.
