I'm not entirely sure you can get that much without at least one turbo. 2jz would be easier to get mods for, I'd think. IIRC the two aren't that far apart in price, either, but I could be wrong on that part. Regardless, most of the 1jzs and 2jzs come with turbos.
1JZ-GE Engine: 200 HP, 185 ft-lbf
1JZ-GTE Engine: 280 HP, 268 ft-lbf

2JZ-GE Engine: 220 HP, 209-220 ft-lbf
2JZ-GTE Engine: 276 HP, 320 ft-lbf

I'm not entirely sure about that, but it's at least fairly close. I'm currently saving for a 2jz-gte myself.
