I own a SC300 with a 1j, My last car was a 240 with an sr with about 300rwhp and extensive suspension work, I thought for sure switching to a heavier car and starting off with the same hp + 900lbs was going to suck, however my stock swap with a downpipe, exh, and air filter for modifications this thing pulls and there is no current weight reduction I was surprised by the acceleration possibly due to the stork rear end gearing but however I am now a full on toyota believer . and yes i did say 1j not 2j. you be the judge.

isn't it a lot harder to the swap if you have a 400?
