What would be a better option?
1)Build up the current engine to forged internals with lower compression.
2)Swap in a supra engine (i know theyre the same)

If the internals are the same as the NA Supra motor, then they will withstand a lot of abuse.

My mom had a 94 gs300 with the 2jz-ge. In a 4door car that big it was an absolute pig. But it would do a crazy burnout haha.
