Bone stock? With a set of cams the 2jz-gte will handle 1000hp at the crank - reliably, with race fuel. A stock 2jz-ge won't do more than about 450hp at the crank, reliably with race fuel.

Not only the motor is different in the n/a - it's the entire powertrain and braking system that is weaker and less capable.

That person really has no idea. The 5spd holds less than half the power that the 6spd can. Oh, and you can re-gear the diff to get the gears to ride longer in the 6spd if you wish.

Not.

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.
