by this june im planning on doing a full exhaust with magnaflows 2.25 inch with rush import's long tube extractors/headers and then a tune and i wont be doing any more performance modding anytime soon...it should be pretty beasty afterwards 
If you have the money you can make the 1uz faster than the 2jz..but its really pricey and your right about custom work...alot of supras are starting to swap in 1uzs now...but the 2jz is a lot easier and cheaper..so it all depends on what goal you are trying to achieve

fellas here it is... i'm not trying to start a thread to see which is more beneficial b/c i'm sure there is one...just personal opinions
Originally while searching for my SC, i was planning on going 2JZ Turbo, the real decision was 2jz NA-T or 2jzgte swap...now after driving around with the mufflers off on the 1uz to allow people to hear this bad boy engine, i've grown attached to this engine (2 days of driving lol
)
i'm gonna stop by mvp motorports or dynosaur here in tx to get some input from them as either shop will be doing the build
and if i do decide to keep the 1uz, i still would love to go turbo b/c i'm aiming for 500-600 whp, but it would prob cost a few more dimes, not pennies lol
to boost the 1uz compared to the 2jz... let me know what you guys think
THANKS!

goal is 400-500whp daily, and have a 600-700whp tuned map for when i really want to tear the road up... but i want to start with 400whp until i'm comfortable and ready for the
setup

How much HP can you expect from a built NA 1uz?
They have high compression pistons available along with heads now and ITBs.
What about that with the 4.7 block? I eventually would like to build mine and be around 400whp na.

not joking, ask anyone on here who has turboed an sc400 and the cost's, custom manifolds (needs custom intake manifold as well to breath well), two turbos, forged internals (several grand), can't just slap an hg on there like a 2jz and lower compression, engine management (no standalones plug straight into 1uz), v160 (4-5K), transmission adapter 2k, etc, etc

Look up Lextreme, he swapped a 2UZ short block into an SC.

^^ Thank you all for your input.. my best route seems to be swapping a usdm 2jzgte/or n/a-T.. i'm gonna enjoy the 1uz for a little bit while i dress up the sc with some rims and body kit.. prob auto couture or vertex.. and then boost time w/ a tranny swap!!

it's never a stable process lol... finished the exhaust system, check out the vids on my other posts.. we were installing the coilovers yesterday, KSPORT COILOVERS instead of MEGAN.. but had issues with the spring compressor so i'm gonna call up dynosaur performance to install hopefully this wednesday
and next is tranny swap and gears, i dont know if i stated early..i am keeping the 1uz and plan on boosting it..turbo or supercharging..UNDECIDED
