I believe you ! mathematically your car (in standard form) has about .03 sec advantage over a v8 soarer of the power you stated, your motor peaks out quicker so its gonna beat it with gear changes plus you mentioned you've got extractors...so that will help it rev a bit quicker...What the soarer needs is a lower ratio diff to get it's fat arse off the line a bit quicker...and make it shift gears quicker...it might be a 0-3 outcome for you then.

The 1UZ series engines are excellent it's just the excessive weight of the soarer that is its downfall. I'm thinking of an engine conversion for my '64 Valiant and pretty certain it's going to be 1UZ. Reliability and enonomy to power balance being the main reasons. Plus the Valiant weighs 400kg less.
