Yup, upgrade time if you can afford it. Beware of the 7M-GTE though; only get one of those if you can budget for a rebuild! Personally I'd go with the 1JZ every time.

I think you mean 2JZ there Norbs!
As for the head torque, something up in the mid 60's, maybe 72 ft-lbs.
I think thats it.
But a search of the WWW should solve it.
