Yea it was 100 degrees yesterday. It should make alot more @ 50.
Yea its still vvti, infact a you cant put non vvti heads on a vvti block. It was on a Mustang dyno & it was 100 degrees. Some ppl stay that the Mustang dyno is 8-12% lower than Dyno Jet's. I have yet to see any vvti 400 SC dyno sheets that show them doing the 245-250 numbers bone stock that Ive heard on the forum here. That being said, Ive mostly heard those numbers from the GS400 guys & I do know that the stock GS manifold flows better than the SC manifold. Thus the GS being closer to the 290hp, Lexus claims.

I really appreciate what you are doing with the 1uz! With the mods you've done I would expect your numbers to be much closer to the 300whp mark you set, especially with the 3uz block. I hope the "missing hp" will materialize on a Dynojet with better ambient temperature.
Keep up the awesome work!

When I did my block swap, there were some skeptics about it being a bolt up job due to the piston design. After I got into the motor & found out that the vvti 400 & the vvti 430 motor had almost identical piston design. That raised the question about weather or not, it was possible to do the same block swap with the 2uz as I did with the 3uz. The 2uz has the same piston design,as the vvti 1uz. You can put non vvti 1uz heads on a 2uz, but you have to custom pistons made.

The simulated 1/4 times REALLY demonstrate how important torque CURVE is vs just peak numbers.
Previously you had 14.2 seconds at 97mph
Now you have 13.9 seconds at 102mph
This is 3 tenths quicker and 5 mph faster
This would normally take an extra 30-50hp and you did it with the same horsepower and only 12 more peak torque
This is where dyno peak numbers are so far from the way car performs
