Impressive but I have to wonder if that car will ever leave DDPR.

I believe that car hit 231 whp. It is also getting a dry sump as well. I don't think that will help HP though.

While I find it an intellectually satisfying exercise when DDPR does this sort of builds, I always wonder how expensive and applicable they are to cars that are actually driven on a day by day and/or week by week basis.
Seems to me, that nearly 10 years ago DDPR built a 1ZZ engine with almost 200 HP. Later, they offered (as I recall) to build similar HP engines for their Clients for around $5,000. I always wondered what became of that offering and/or if any/many of the builds were driven on a regular street basis.
By my way of thinking, a $5,000 200 HP 1ZZ trumps a: 1ZZ turbo; 2ZZ; and possibly even a K swap.
Inquiring minds want to know.

I don't think the owner of that car has even driven it in his over 10 years of ownership.

A 200hp NA 1zz is nonexistent, a 200hp boosted 1zz is either quite a bit of money, or quite a bit of headache, sometimes both. A 200hp 2zz is a little more than quality bolt ons and a tune. A 200hp k series is a stock engine with a tune usually.
The less you can do to get your desired power curve the better in my opinion. If you can use OEM parts, it's almost always going to be more reliable as well.
