what do ya figure a supercharged 2uz-fe makes in HP & torque?

The VVT-I version made 271HP / 315 ft-lbs, and this engine is a 2006 VVT-I variant. I've heard that the supercharger works and doesn't work. I'm completely willing to go to an aftermarket or pigggyback ECU to make it work.

I found a quote from the old TRD website



but of course, this was the older non-VVT-I 2UZ-FE.

Assuming it runs, and assuming the gains are the same (With these results max hp would be 389 and max torque would be 434 lb-ft.
I'm assuming those are all SAE-net figures, at the flywheel. RWHP is probably 20-25% less.

Still, might be fun to take out the occasional Camero or Mustang, IDK.

Is bench-racing even a thing in the FJ55 world?

A 400 HP Piggy would be pretty darn fun!
Plus 2UZ reliability!!!
