Congrats on your newly found rare 1992 Supra.

Dicks make assumptions, so I won't.
But, what is your previous history of cars and horsepower?

Aiming for over 600rwhp is a BIG accomplishment.
And aside from that, that's making some SERIOUS power...So, just make sure you know what you're getting in to.

If you're serious about making "over 600rwhp"...

Then you've got a long road ahead of you. ;)

Pull your motor.

Tear it apart.

Send it off to the best and most reputable machine shop in your area/region.

Well...I'll stop there. There's just too much to explain, but if you make it this far, then we'll talk. :)

Nice find and I agree with Jeff 100%.
600 or more accomplishment
But to add to what he said about the motor.
Do the same with the drive train
and the best thing to do there is send the trans and rear end to a shop.

and good luck on the build.

Where abouts in colorado do you live?

Congrats on the buy!

600 at the wheels and more is a pretty large goal, so I'm going to hope you've got some good knowledge with cars and some deep pockets.

If you feel like going nuts, just pull the motor and tear the whole thing apart and replace what you need to. (I.e. old hoses, rubber, etc.) IMO, I'd start by making sure the car is in healthy shape and up to spec for just BPU before visioning past 300.

Welcome to the 92 club -- as stated above, it IS rare, especially if it's clean, so on the mod path ahead of you, make sure you do it tastefully! =P

start with a 1j, 2j, or 1.5jz and a lot of money

:nono:

Are you serious?

May I request an educational response to why you should start with a JZ?

I guess I keep forgetting that 7M's aren't capable of 600rwhp.
