Stock for stock, that motor makes less power than the B58.
It's also way heavier. Iron block vs aluminum.
Wiring would be a nightmare.
So what do you gain? The privilege of spending even more money to make it have more power than the B58? Clout? Being able to sleep tight knowing your Supra has a 2JZ?

The internet is freaking ridiculous. Apparently the B58 ecu has been tough to crack, but I've seen multiple 500whp dynos and this is just the infancy of the platform. It seems to take to mods somewhere between the level of the 55 and 54. Never thought I'd see the day where people would complain about a beautiful rwd turbo i6 that makes 500whp for a couple of grand and only costs 50k new. Dollar for dollar it's a far better value than the original Supra.
"Oh no, this 50k car comes with a 70k interior, Toyota is the worst!!!!"
