wouldnt the shorter runners hurt low rpm performance, as the shorter runners increase higher rpm performance???
we plan on making a sheet metal intake for my car over the winter, but i have a GTE motor, so it wouldnt be of much help to you GE guys.

I spoke with Lar at SP today. He said that the wiring for the supra motor will be totally different and you would need to be able to rig it all up. I was thinking about starting to source parts for this swap; as I could do a lot of the work myself. However, I don't think I could tackle the wiring.
His suggestions were to go NA-T and on the current motor with forged rods. He said the rods inthe GS300 are very weak. The other option is to try to source an Aristo front clip and go at it with regards to the wiring.

Get the Aristo front clip. The swap is a two day project for a good shop. I had my car swaped and running in 7 hours of solid work. It took another 4-5 to button up all the loose ends.

Edit - the 15k would be a turn key setup.

I have gone over the swap many times do a search for my user name.
I will do the swap all day long for $8000 you just have to get me the car. It also depends on the availability of front clips. Any aftermarket parts would be extra, and the traction control will no longer work. This is for GS300’s only. Oh and your cruse will only go up to 65mph I haven’t found a fix for that yet.
