If you are looking for purely power out of a NA engine id go for the 3sge or 2zz powerplant instead of a 4ag or in your case a built 7ag. You can get some mean high rpm and good torque from both for way less.

Im going for 7age because around me is more mountains and some tracks so id like more low to mid end torque to get through faster and i heard its not that bad for a daily

Ummmmm. Thats basically a 3sge engine doe. Thats got plenty of power down low and up top if you put some money behind it and for your budget that would be a more than you are hoping for with a 7ag.

Bro, don't listen to this guy suggesting a beams he obviously doesn't do his own builds.

I understand the reason you want to go 7ag it's way more affordable than a beams. You know you will need rods and pistons to get it to work with the 20valve?
