given the increase in power on the 2ar, i bet the 2zr could be a strong 40hp increase... but don't forget the 2ar in the video is using a tuned ecu, and you would need similar to make the best out of any engine

Thank you! I appreciate the input. I do love how my Dee Dee handles, and I've even yet to put a rear sway bar and a front strut tower bar, so I can just imagine how much more it would improve. And actually you don't gain any weight from the 1NZ to 2ZR swap. I bet if you can lay 150+ WHP NA on this baby it would rock!
