Well. One reason I’m heading this route is bang for my buck. Time and time again a factory 2jz hits 275 hp at the tires all day long. Forged crank, rods and pistons make the bottom end of that 2jz bullet proof. Many people have gotten 1000 ho with factory bottom end and still be reliable. With a few hundred dollars i can put 500 hp to the ground super easy. And the muffler? Yeah, yeah, no fart cans here. Going to make sure it has 2 1/2 pipe all the way back to a magnaflow. And the blow off valve will get swapped out to an HKS adjustable. I can’t do anything about that except make it louder......which I like the sound.
Traction is going to be handled by a Ford Exploder rear end because imma need them rear discs. I’ll find a way to put it to the ground either with a four link or a boost controller to creep the power up as the speed increases
