Given we have topped 600whp with the current engine already, why invest all this money in an old expensive engine?

This is 2013, not 1996. Let the 2jz die.
because 2jz is one of the few engine designs that were near flawless. pick another engine that has 6 cylinders 3.0 liters and a turbo that can make over 800 horse on stock internals . i think world record on stock internals is now at 1050whp. when you drag im sure they arent worrying about it being older or newer same reason goes for muscle car owners older 426 hemi engines kick the shit out of most of todays "big block" engines.

just my .02
