22r vs 4y

I jumped in the surf expecting a bit of power over the 4y but it struggles to get to 100kph, where the 4y doesnt even struggle to get to 140-160kph. what im asking is, are the 22r normaly this gutles? or is mine just overly slow..?

Re: 1982 Hilux Engine Conversion?

i have the commy v6 in my surf. fare bit of power but its thirsty. 250ks to a 60l tank.. not sure if that's just because the conversion wasn't done properly, or because I'm led footed and run 33's.
could be a mix of things haha.
