Like title says. I wanna know how fast my truck is compared to others. ie; 5 spd vs 4 spd, 3.90 vs 4.10. Mine with my 5 spd trans and 3.90 gearing and 31s with my old motor was 75 mph. New motor, dont know as I am babying it, but it was easily pulling 5th at 70. So lets hear em.

 

On my 82 fastest I ever had it going was I would guess 100mph but that was downhill. Flat I can max out the speedo which is 140 km/h. The motor had more power before I rebuilt it though. Didn't know that the engnbldr pistons lowered the compression slightly. Before rebuild I had close to 180psi compression on some and 165 on others but she was low on oil pressure and burning oil. After I have right on 160 across the board. Would have been a great powerful motor had a kept the original pistons but oh well. My diesel easily passes 85mph now. Just need to get the right tires and 100mph can be reached.

 

70mph top speed downhill with a strong tailwind

 

80 flat out 5th gear on level ground. 5th gear is worthless tho.

I cruise 65-70mph level or up hills in 4th.

stock 87 22r ... 4.10 ... 31" mudrovers

 

I've had it up to 80 MPH, it makes a VW bus look fast when it comes to getting there.

 

Good, so im not the only slow one. Do you guys also notice that its VERY hard to pull 5th. It seems like they just threw it in there to maintain a speed, or if you got wind behind you. Also What speeds can you guys attain in 4wd high? I could only pull 1st and 2nd gear with my old engine, this motor will pull 4th tho. This was in gravel, sand.

 

wow...my rig is f-in SLOW!....1980..4x4..yota p/u...20R 4spd...original motor...never rebuilt...COMPLETELY stock...over 120mph...lol..j/k...i MIGHT be able to get 70 or 75 going down a STEEP hill in 4th gear...its incredibly slow...flat out..my top speed is about 55 on the speedo...and idk if its off...i got 4:10's...31's...idk if it came stock with 31's though...if it didnt then the speedo is off..and im actually going faster...i caught a 200? diesel chevy 4x4 when i achieved that top speed...he cut me off like..hardcore...i was turning left...onto a dirt road..blinker on and everything...i was halfway over into the other lane...he came wizzing by...in the OTHER LANE!...i miss him by maybe 5in. .....so i chased his as down..got his plates....and he got a ticket... f-in jackass

 

Damn 55 top speed? Sounds like an fj40. Can you say rings? But if she dont smoke. Keep on goin, as far as big trucks go, theyre just mad they cant crawl like us. Or pass a gas station.

 

ive gotten her to about 115mph. (my speedo is about 5 mph off). and yes she will still do it if i push her hard enuf, but dont like to.

 

79 Longbed Pickup, 20R 4spd, 4.38s and 32s was gear bound at 55mph
90 4Runner 22RE/Auto, 4.10s and 31s gear bound at 70ish miles per hour, with 32s couldnt hit 60

thats what happens when u got a 20R/4spd and larger than stock tires on its a wonderful thing haha

 

i've stuck it to the 110 on many occasions.

 

89 4runner 22re / Auto

Fastest i ever went was 140KM/H (90 MPH) going downhill but im sure it might go more if i really pushed it. Truck has 31" mudterrains btw

 

105 out on a long highway but as i dont have a sway bar in the front i didnt want to really push it. it got up there pretty quick

i got a 98 tacoma with a 5speed v6 4x4 3.91 and some crappy 31 knock off street terrains

 

82 22r, 5-sp manual, 2wd

Fastest Ever= 90 miles per hour passing on flat ground

was still accelerating hard, had a lot more to go, but I spotted a county mountie on the shoulder so i backed 'er on down

 

I usually drive out 10 mph over the limit, and then if a car passes me, I will follow it. Well, one time an Audi TT passed me and I sped up to 108 mph. He was still pullin' away, so I backed off.

 

between wide axles and proper gears its 90mph in 5th gear

 

3.0 auto 1995 4runner. 75mph is what I had her up to on flat road.

 

When my truck was stock on the stock tires we got the speedo needle to hit the odometer button on flat ground... i can still get it to hit the 110 on 33x1250's and my speedo is down by 6mph... its something i really wouldnt recomend on that size tires...

 

i think i can get about 95 out of mine. but dang anything lower than 70, and you wouldnt be able to keep up on ther freeway out here lol.

 

84 5 spd 22r 30" tires 75 top speed with a tail wind. but it cruises nicely at 60-65.
