That sounds glorious! Had I live in a perfect world where I'm free to do anything to my own car, this is exactly what I'd do.

The result is something which adds to the base car and in our opion correct the main short coming, which is lack of power, without detracting from what makes the original car so good.
So you would say this improves the car in everyway?are there better swaps for the frs?

I see well I'm considering down the road doing a FA20DIT swap or an LS swap. Any other swaps to consider? I like the 2jz but it's a heavy engine.

To me the LS swap is the only one that makes any sense.

Stock LS7 gets you dry sump, 505hp, reliable, etc.
