May i suggest a surge tank becuase when you are producing big HP you don't want any kind of starvation for fuel. Also you can get away with some 272 cams on the road, may help make HP easier. I would also suggest since you are going all the way in this conversion get some titanium connecting rods and some 1800CC injectors.

just some suggestions that will make it last longer and give you more than you will need to reliable HP and torque, remember it is better to be over prepared than under prepared.

I would love to see the faces of the guys at the Lexus dealership and TTE when you are done.

LOL, you do know that the stock six speed is limited to 206 MPH (not sure might be a couple of miles off).

maybe limited to 206MPH but u can prob get different gear ratios and such.

i would also suggest along with the engine upgrades he upgrades, Brakes (largest possible and with some nice 6 or 8 piston calipers), stiff suspension with a little drop to aid aero and a aero kit that actually works to provide downforce for high speeds.

You will need the whole package to really get going properly and safely.
