    The local tuner shop will have an open house in feb. I plan on putting it on the dyno then. Other setups like mine have put down 220-235 to the wheels.
    Nash, You are running the hell out of that 22r. That last autox vid you posted was impressive. I watched it atleast 20 times. Very nice truck and even better driving.
    I will be installing my speedo cable friday night. I will post up a speedo burying vid on saturday.

    Got the sppedo working tonight. I'm glad I did because while I was under the truck I noticed that 3 of the 4 engine bracket bolts on the driverside had fallen out. Fixed it.

    This is a 15-85mph pull starting from 2nd gear. Only gave it 3/4 throttle because it sucked trying to control this this with one hand and record with the other,

    <iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/db0HCVf7BYQ?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Here is a roll from 55mph in third gear. Just stabbed the thottle.

    <iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/kp1QSRyOG5w?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    I'll get better vids when the roads are cleared on the salt and I figure out the best place to mount my phone.

    Lol traction much lol

    I can see ya beat my tiny little 22re
    but all give it a go

    once I do the stand alone it may come close but will not top that.

    ps what tires ya running
    with 185's mine spins like mofo but with the 275 r comps I have spins just a tad

    when I do my vid all do my stock wheels since the race wheel are pretty heavy

    geee I sound like a honda owner lol

    I am interested in see your vid. It looks like it moves great in the in vids you posted. I'm running 245/50/16 in the rear. I have some kumho 265/45/16 im itching to throw on soon.

    Thanks,
    The nissan calipers work great. Pedal feels excellent to me. I dont know if they will clear the crown vic wheel. The face of my starion wheels are concave and I still needed a 5mm spacer to clear the caliper. Keep in mind I am running a mazda mpv rotor also.

    Motor sounds great! I feel you with running in traffic. I'll get some good exterior video of the truck soon.

    I'm running the 16x9 0 offset all around.

    Thanks for the comments guys. It is fun to drive

    No turbo plans for this truck. I just want a reliable work truck and that's what I have. Last weekend I sat in bumper to bumper traffic for almost 4 hours in this truck without any problem at all ( except my sore back). She ran perfect. I bought this truck with the intention of just making the original turbo motor reliable but the forces led me in another direction. The final mods will be suspension and interior related. I need to focus my efforts on my V6 MR2 build.

    Finally found some good carpet. I pulled it from a 1991 extended cab. Fit great but i had to cut it in the rear. I butchered it but my seats will hide it.
