Yea those guys are crazy. Lots of turbo inline 6 cylinders here doing that. Not many supercharged v8s. They do love to hold it on revlimiter and shoot flames hahaha.
Mine hits rev limit set at 6k pretty easy but I don't beat on mine. Only time it gets pushed really is on the dyno. It's just a mall crawling daily driver hobby car for me.
Sad really.. it's a triple locked manual with 500 whp that has retired to just bringing the Ole lady to get groceries and suck up all my money. hahahaha.

I saw that on the UZJ FB group. IMO sounds like an amazing build, and it makes sense to do part-time 4wd. Is this your build?

Yep that's mine
Would love to see some pics! Do you have a thread?

This thread has most of the performance upgrades. The one below is from the very start of the project.
Adding SC to my 99 GCC build thread
First ever build thread. Any and all questions , concerns, advice and info appreciated. I will be doing all work except for the tuning at a rental garage. It will be slow and then parts will go on pretty quick. For now I'm still acquiring parts while home (Louisiana) before heading back to...

Holy crap dude you are a madman for building that thing. That is insane power from a 4.7L, let alone a 2UZ. I bet the fuel gauge moves just about as fast as the tach now!

Luckily I don't drive as crazy as the build is. Daily driving isn't bad at all since still on stock size tires and manual trans. Using full boost .... yea it's bad

That sounds awesome.
Just going back through your thread, what headers are these?

Custom stainless long tube by Bullet Performance. 3" down pipes to large free flow muffler then 3" to stock resonator. Sounds like any stock V8 at idle and cruise speed with stock resonator. Over 3500 rpm it sounds like above. In cab it's not loud at all. I had 3" high flow res before and it was loud all the time. Stock res dropped low rpm sound and smoothed out the higher revs so I junked the high flow.
Old video of headers and y pipe. Before I added big muffler and rear 3" section. Headers are also wrapped all the way to muffler. Decreases the pinging stainless sound and drastically lowers underhood temps
