No EMS yet but I plan on going AEM EMS, when I go single turbo.
explains VVT-I:

From what I've been told the VVT-I adds about 5HP. Not to mention the 2JZ-GTE VVT-I motor has more torque than the USDM 2JZ-GTE and JDM 2JZ-GTE.
335@3600 to be exact. And the real rated HP on these motors were around ~350HP. But lowered due to a law in Japan.
Finally got it running, will post a video soon. We ran into a problem that we couldn't figure out. Turns out to be loose intercooler piping...Duurrrr.
Pros: Easier wiring and over all better engine than just a 2JZ-GTE JDM. (USDM 2JZ-GTE is hard to get a hold of and incredibly high in demand) And it seems like I'm getting pretty good MPG even though I'm running rich as hell. I freaking love it!
Cons: Expensive to mod and the swap was expensive.

Well...I believe the V8 has more torque...I don't know about faster. Stock for stock it be pretty close. But with just a simple boost controller and up the boost a little bit. The V8 430 would get walked...
Off a dig race I think the 430 might have a jump to 60mph. But 1/4 mile I couldn't tell you....
GS430 with a turbo kit would be a monster though.

as for a roll, say 40 or so, the initial torque again goes to the v8 but the GTE would definitely pick up that ground really fast once the boost kicks in.
throw bolt-ons on the v8, then you'd have a decent race vs. stock GTE.
and a turbo on the v8 would be sick, but an S/C would build the boost a little quicker
