THANK YOU. Finally someone agrees with me. I have been saying this for weeks.

My questions to you people who condemn the 1JZGTE for its "bad headflow" are:
1 - At which power level does the headflow become a significant impediment to performance over that of the 2JZ head?
2 - When in your build did the head flow on your 1JZ prevent you from achieving the power goals you were after?

My mistakes were....
1) JDM OEM Toyota Soarer Power folding mirrors: What a waste of $220! Mirrors are angled only for RHD cars so therefore putting 'em on a LHD cars sucks! And they will only "work properly" if installed with an aftermarket alarm.
2) JDM OEM Toyota Soarer Moonroof visor: After a while, they begin to look tacky and when you take it off, It literally leaves it's mark.
3) Tanabe NF210 Lowering springs: Hardly any drop at all! What a waste of $250.
