Please pardon my ignorance, as I am a noob to the SC world but not to cars! I have read ALOT of these pages trying to learn as much as I can about my ole" beat up girl, but I have not one clue as to what ITB's are! Can you help me with this?

BTW, ITB's are an expensive way to go....Plus, without making a whole lot of other changes along with them, you still will not get to 350 WHP.

OBX makes ITBs for the 1UZ now, I think they are about $1200.
I would put the 4.7L bottom end in and use your stock head ecu/harness. Then I would modify the top end. There are companies that makes cams, oversized valves, ITBS, etc. I am not sure how close this will get you to your HP goal, but I bet you could get pretty close with the 4.7L bottom end...

I am using the SMALLEST supercharger Vortech makes.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, my SC400 FI build cost way less than most. On this forum at least. Bracket = $100, used supercharger from ebay = $950, piping kit from ebay = $100 or so. Maybe another couple of hundred dollars for a belt, pulleys, and some other misc stuff. I spent more than that total but could do it way cheaper if I had to do it again. Also does not include a ton of other supporting mods which would / should be done anyhow. Still on the stock ECU also BTW, been daily driving it for I think about two years now. Lots (a couple of hundred, no joke) track runs.
