Where is everyone getting this "500hp" figure? Honestly, there are NO 500hp limits on the entire Mkiv TT Supra, except maybe the oem twins, high mileage, run through an auto tranny. The oem fuel system, and the oem auto tranny itself are both good for far more than that! The oem 2jz-gTe can put out 1000hp (yes - really! No exaggeration whatsoever).

Thank you for your kind words. I just hate that I've failed everyone so badly here - I was certain I had posted that 1000hp figure over and over and over and over again. Sigh.

For example, here's a direct quote from that first link that you posted:

700rwhp is a walk in the park for a bone-stock 2jz-gte!!! Really!!! In theory, you could even roadrace it at 900rwhp and it'd be just fine with oem bone-stock "internals"!!!"

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.
