A very smart engine builder built a dry sump 1UZ with all sorts of racing goodies on it to test out in an open wheel race car that was going to be the basis for a spec-class racing series. He said the stock cams were good for 6,200 rpm before they stopped making horsepower. They will pull a bit higher revs but it's pointless. When I put together a binder of pertinent 1UZ information together to hand to my engine builder I made sure to put one of the best looking 1UZ pictures on the front of it. Good for inspiration.



Tomorrow I'll be taking measurements and getting the adapter template ready. If I have time I'll also be prepping the empty engine compartment for painting. I can't have a mud colored engine compartment with a super clean engine in there now.
