As you requested! Input from more members. Many moons ago, my Nissan 4x4 found it's way onto the strip, with not-so-pleasant results... something like 19sec et. Not pretty, but you know what's silly is, my Tacoma can smack down on many compact cars/imports, even with my slightly larger than stock tires(altering effective gear ratio, less power).

All in good fun! Bro, don't leave! Bring your truckin buddies over here instead!

Did you ever lose traction during the launch? If so bleed a few pounds of pressure out of your rear tires. Help get that 60' down.

The KA24DE is just waiting for a turbo kit...I'll have one fabbed up for mine as soon as I get the kinks worked out of the 240 kit I'll be marketing. Since the market for the 240 is bigger, I have to start there. For mor info email me, [email protected]

where i'm from, 15-16's for all motor is respectable. best 1/4 mile et was 16.405@81mph. this is with a cam, headers, sidedrafts, ignition, and flowmaster muffler on an 86 720. though there are 14 second all motor trucks here(sucks that they are toyota's with lc engineering motors.
