Why would you buy a 430 if you want to do a 2jz swap Why not save the money by getting a GS300

LOL - in all honesty if u want to go with the 2JZ, I would unload the 430 and get the cheaper 300 and use the extra money to build it up.

If you want to trade with my 300, we'll call it even

Well there's two monsters running around with twin turbos in the 400 though and maybe a couple twins in the 300s. For the 430, the most done was just superchargers.......that I remember.
