    how high can i go

    Read this...page 3 on installing a Cometic: http://www.cometic.com/catalogs/AutoCat04.pdf I use the manufacture's spec when I build a motor...not what "my buddy told me". No offense, but hearsay has killed more motors than I can count.

    na head on gte block

    The NA intake cam shifts the HP/torque curve to the left rpm wise. When you torqued the ARP studs to120 ft/lbs, did you use moly or motor for lube? You really don't want to over torque man...especially on an aluminum head like a Supra's.

    Removed ISC and AFM plug

    Have you checked your ECU codes? There are several things that could cause your problem. Instead of throwing parts at it, check your ECU codes and get a multi-meter to find the bad part. Could be a boost leak, your TPS just needs adjustment, the ISC, etc. You dont want to mess with the...

    Throttle Bodies

    That's correct...autos have a provision for the throttle position cable going to the tranny. There is also differences in the JDM vs USDM versions due to the right hand drive in Japan. I've seen at least 4 versions of the linkage on the throttle body itself. No biggie though...just use...

    The ARP spec for studs is 81 ft/lbs using moly for lube...105 ft/lbs using motor oil. You DO NOT want to over torque.
