Default IS and the 2jz engine

the IS has the 2jz supra base engine right? and the supra's are really easy to get power out of it right? so, is the IS as easy to tune because of the 2JZ?

easy question hard answer... yes and no... they turbo Supra motor (2jzgte) is the good motor to have... and yes that motor you can get gobs and gobs of power out of it... tho we have the NA version that can get alot of power out of it also, it will come at a price, more so then a 2jzge in a supra... for many reasons.. do some research on this topic it has been covered in prior posts..
