Up to the legal speed limit. Of course.
There was no sustain lose of traction nor excessive use of acceleration, sir.

Have thought about it for a bit and really there is no comparison agains't both trucks under this test .. to be fair.. both should have run either 33's or 31's as we all know the 24 valve would perform way better than the 12 valve model.. but with the 33's it is at a disadvantage.. taller gearing..
Maybe retest with either but same tyres for a comparison then we would see which runs better..
thats what I reckon.. take or leave it.. I dont want to open a can of worms.. just what I think..lol

still get done for participating in an unauthorized race.

I want to see a top end speed test, my money would be on the 24v with the 33's, i'd bet it would pass the old 80 at about 100k's/hr and would be gone from there on

hey pete i see you had new front bar made. did you remove front bumber and if so do you still have it and would you be willing to sell. really need the corner bumperettes for mine.

cheers jono
