Yea, I know, and there's a good reason why a huge number of Spyders are 2ZZ swapped, but I think at this point I don't need to blow the money on such a luxury. It's all a downhill spiral anyways, once I put the 2ZZ in I won't like how it only hits 8500rpm and pretty soon cams will start getting regrinds, oil pump will go, flywheel will have to go, etc.

Can't take the first fatal step of making a performance mod. Most I'm willing to do is put in the 0.725 5th gear so I can cruise at 3200 instead of 3600 rpm (seriously, whichever engineer at Toyota decided it was a good idea to have a 1ZZ revving over half its rev limit on the highway, fuck you)
