as someone who has had two turbo 1fz-fe builds at @Cruisers and Co (both are ongoing), a non-turbo 5.2L stroker 1fz build underway, and Johnny even fixed the AC on my FTE/152 swapped LX450 before I blew it up (tbc: not Johnny’s fault. I fault the original build(er)),

… you’re gonna love that lx450.

Johnny’s kit wasn’t out then.
