What power are you at now, and where will the V2 put you.
Alot of "good" tuners will not push much past the limits of what they think is safe. One of my local shops won't go much past 200kw on the stock block on 98ron, and not alot more if running E85. Other wise the longevity of the motor comes into play. The motor and drive train are the weak link. Blowing motors and drivetrains isn't good business sence. Yes they can make more power, but when the engines or drive trains pop due to bad fuel, poor mechanical sympathy, or, IRT the gearbox, well past its torque rating, people tend to blame the tuner, not themselves or the limits of the components.

Yeah i understand what your trying to say, my current power is 211whp and i understand these engines are not the strongest either, im not after insane power from this stock block 280hp max is what i want from a stock block, and i have also tried talking to 1 tuner about a built motor and still no response he even quoted me 20k for the set up and still no response, i am a mechanic by trade and been working for Toyota and i know how much these motors can handle
