If you want more and want to be reliable I think a VR38 swap is the way to go or obviously a nasty boosted v8.

If I keep the Z and don't go to a 2023 Supra with a 6MT when they release, the VR38 swap will probably be the route I'll take.

Last I heard used VR38's are only around $10k now (correct me if wrong) and even in stock form the VR38 can take more power than even a built VQ.

If and when I start chasing big power for the Z, the VR would be my goto.
Last I checked a VR38 junkyard longblock was 14-17k for a good one. The motors can't be bored so if it is fubar, a new block will be needed.
