It's a bit tougher to tune than the non-VVTi 2jz-gte, but still a great engine. The non-VVTi 2jz-gte will be more than sufficient to blow away your family's other performance cars, but note that the Supra is NOT the cheapest platform to build a 1/4 mile drag car. There's nothing (in the USA) that will be a rustang for an 1/8th mile or 1/4 mile dollar for dollar. However, in a roadrace or a highway race from a rolling start (eg. 40mph), with a skilled driver and race fuel, the Mkiv Supra Turbo will compete favorably dollar-for-dollar. When you say "blow away", exactly what type of race did you have in mind? Drifting? Autocross? Top speed? etc.

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.
