Hit me up when you get closer. I am right up the road from James if you need a hand or tools. |

I'm definitely not up the road but I'd like to come lend a hand. And by lend a hand I mean consume beer and watch. _________________

I may have convinced my crazy friend to come this year with his POS toyota pickup, he wants to know what his 22R puts down with a 271 cam and ported 20R head. Lol |

The interesting stat would be the torque curve. He will almost certainly make more power, but the band will be skewed very high. Is this a dual-carb setup? |

Not dual carbs but he is talking about doing a 390 holley 2bbl. I doubt fuel will keep up with his 300cfm weber _________________

The 390 Holley is a 4-pot. It's a very good carb for that size of motor, however.
Is his cam straight up or advanced a few degrees? What exhaust? |

Oh my mistake, I thought they were a 2bbl.
He bought an adjustable cam gear. I dont know what hes doing for exhaust, other than it has a long tube header into stock piping with a hallow cat right now.. Its a pretty ghetto built truck, it was a 3 liter originally. He had to go to great lengths to put the carb 22R in its place... |

Didn't those redline at like three grand?

I am dubious that there is anything on a 'Yota that requires "great lengths" except maybe tracking down all the exhaust leaks...
It will be interesting to see what he can get out of it. The 20-hybrid is a combo with good potential, but you have to be careful not to choke it, and you need to accept that you are un-trucking your truck motor. |

He had to make it fit for sure, had to cut the mounts off the frame and weld them closer to the front and the crossmember and drivelines where different, going from V6 to 22R and vise versa is not a direct bolt in.
He just happened to aquire a 4WD extra cab truck with a blown up V6 and he had a recently rebuilt 22R sitting in his garage, and he thought it would bolt right in, never did any research what so ever.. lol |

Are we any closer to nailing down a Dyno date? I'd like to take the following week off so I gotta request it from work with a little lead time. _________________ '86 Trans Am - 5.0L TPI - LT1 cam - 700R4 - WS6

If history has taught us anything, then yes, I will need a week to recover! |

I got an e-mail from Steve today asking if we were planning a date.
I really can't offer to plan this, or offer up my place this year, but if you guys figure out details and dates and want me to communicate that with Steve, I'm happy to do that.

What do you guys think about late april? I guess we should make a poll. I wish I had a place that people could crash... But I don't have near enough room. _________________

The only dates that I'd have a problem with as of now would be the first two weekends of April. Work may have me in Osaka again on April 7-11. |
