I'm probably going to have to get in touch with some local Honda tuners. They probably have the most/best experience relevant to this car (at least the cam phasing bit). Weird.

I should also clarify my earlier rather silly overstatement. I've talked to a couple of local tuners with Supra experience in the context of putting an IS300 VVT-i 2JZGE head on my old 1JZGTE Supra, with a Vipec V88 or Haltech PS2000 running it. Asking one about tuning the VVT-i and how it should help spool, I got a blank look and ridiculou$ time quote. The other guy just asked why I didn't just run more boost and how he could just get the same result with a divided turbine... I interpreted these as "We don't know anything about VVT-i/cam phasing."
