Was wondering if you are saying that one would not be putting a strain on the 2JZ at that much HP?

Truth is the longevity is out the window on any motor when your numbers get high in the HP and TQ bands unless you do a proper setup and even then...well you know. I don't want to seem more USDM sided here and I FULLY KNOW Supras make big hp numbers, but it would seem that you are discounting the LS/Chevy (or even the Ford) block too much.

Nelson Racing Engines builds 350 and 434ci stroker motors that produce 1,000hp on 91 octane and 1,500+ on race gas. They have big block Cheby (yes i said Cheby) motors that make 3,000hp as well. All of which fit in a late model vette, firebird, or camaro or any other oldie.

Again, not being USDM skewed, I just can't stand it when someone says that American muscle can't handle big power.
