I appreciate the additional info, but to me it still doesn't make sense. A bone-stock 2jz-gte bottom end is good for 1000hp. Why not just stick with that, and not worry about needing any engine internals expertise, or the expense of aftermarket parts (even v8 aftermarket race internals aren't cheap - nothing like a Toyota engine bone-stock parts anyway)?

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.
