Thanks guys, i'm hoping it turns over and starts first, but after that, my short term goal will be 500hp. I know she'll go more, but i don't want to set my goals too high right off. I want to keep the car looking pretty stock for now short of some 17" supra TT rims and TT brakes. Its the waiting game now, my electronics soldering guru friend is helping with the harness using Phil's manual and the engine mounts and fmic should be here this week. I'll keep everyone posted for sure.

I had that feeling after putting deposit on the JDM Supra TT front clip.
