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.
