Seems normal to me. Some starter chain noise at the lower RPMs. Anything specific that concerns you?
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

It pulls well indeed! I only concern about there a bit smoke between high rpm shifting. The real problem is, there are no FJ's in my city to compare the behaviors :)
