My comment was mostly made in the context of this chassis + traction/drivability.
You can drag race all you want but anything beyond 300RWHP in this car without massive aero enhancements is just asking for trouble in corners.
As for "power to weight ratio", yes on paper your setup will be great. Plenty of 240SX have been swapped with 300/400/500RWHP "daily" setups before, I've dealt with probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 300-500 different types of cars set up this way. To actually drive it around is an entirely different thing.
Good luck with your budget Supra. For the amount of money you're spending, I'd rather just buy a JZA80, I see it for around $30k (nonturbo) to around $58-60k (turbo) on Autotrader.
