Default Changing Engine V8 ??????

Well I will start off by saying it wont be a V8. I have bought a 95 2jzgte engine and 6 speed trans. Twin turbo's the motor with a few tweaks can easily run 2000 hp. Easy. But everyone needs a V8 I like them but when it comes to weight and hp. Inline 6 save's on the weight and still bring's the power to the pavment.

Not sure what you're getting at with this.

But are you saying you're going to put a Toyota Supra engine into a Camaro?

I'm very curious what "few tweaks" is going to bump that engine's 276 hp way up to 2000 hp?

Well we can start off with a cam, Then 70mm turbos. Larger blow off valve and a wet shot of n.o.s But that a few. Then we could change the heads out really I would be looking at about 10 grand. But to get it that Hi. But for about 2000 i could hit about 800h.p. Just saying a V8 is heavy and heavy on the pocket too.

You're right that V8s are heavy, but they also have two more cylinders, so of course they'll be heavier. But you should also know that your "heavy" V8s, have set the most world records, are used in top fuel dragsters, NASCAR, monster trucks, and many more motor sports.
