Ahh yeah we usually hit the highways very late at night, seemed to be a tuesday thing for whatever reason. Streets was fun but only if we could get a couple quick cars together and break free of the ricer crowd. One of the best nights we had was myself and Paolo in the TT Viper, Ryan in his GT, Jamie with his nutty TT Stealth (that car is no joke) and Chris in his 2JZ SC300. There were more than a couple pulls that put us deep into the 200 range, and once where we said screw it, put it in 6th and went all silver state on I80 cruising over 200 turning just a hair over 4k rpm. It was MONEY.

Here's a couple pics I shot of Ryan's Murci Roadster @ the SP dyno day.




Thank you for the compliments on the car. It's been a lot of work getting that TT setup perfected but everything is coming together. I just love those cars. That one in the pic is making a hair over 800rwhp on pump gas, on a stock long block. Only has roller rockers, boost a pump, and bigger injectors. **** what else could you possibly want.

I thought Wiggs had a 6speed? But there are many times I have thought to myself I am glad I have the 6 with these tires, rims, and the stacks.

D.Wiggs

I do have a 6-speed. And that what he said. You AND D.Wiggs

JD Dearden

Oops sorry Displaced I misread your post, I would have to agree with you. Knowing what I know now I really don't think I would put those rims and tires on a truck with an auto.

JD Dearden

With the 6 obviously you have alot of low end torque I remember with my old truck that had a good auto I would have to smash the fuel to get a big load moving. When I put the 22.5 on my truck I really diden't notice much diff and actually liked them because it made my truck feel heavier, with the stock rims and tires my truck felt so light with all the power I had. Also I woulden't put 7" stacks on a auto truck because it is harder to control rpm range to keep the drone down.

D.Wiggs

Very True. It seems like the truck body is way out beyond the stock wheels and tire, but with the 22.5s, the base feels so stable. Also, I can only imagine the spinning problems I would have with light, small wheels, given that I can light up my tires in 4 of the 6 gears and 5 of the 6 in any kind of wet conditions!

dearden and wiggs,

your gear ratios are still the stock 3.73 with 6-speed or did you guys change those out too?

D.Wiggs

Stock 3.73s that are now 3.19s with the 22.5s.

JD Dearden

Mine are 3.73 and it works really well for me on the highway I don't even need to go to 6th because my gears are so tall.

D.Wiggs

You ever consider a super-single, like the bridgestone 445/50 ?

JD Dearden

Ya I have, my buddy has one on his truck and I can't decide if I like it or not. I hear the weight rating is the same and all that and that it performs good in snow.

D.Wiggs

It really does do well in the snow? That was my concern. Do you have any pics ??? Can you get any ?

JD Dearden

Ya I could get you some, I will let you know.

D.Wiggs

Thanks JD-You hoser!
