is it the speed of your 60 that is killing ya?
Yeah...
I was ready to shoot bullets into it coming home from DV last weekend. I had a psychiatric vacation on the side of the road where I had to pull over. There was lots of swaring to be heard for miles!
Granted, Ive done every mod possible to KILL the performance and in the end, its my OWN fault...35-40 MPH in 2nd gear up over Mammoth pass and temps running high was NO FUN! The whole trip home was misery. I got the "stink eye" from an old lady in the 2 lane stretch after Bridgeport...
Aside from the longer trips...I LOVE THE RIG! Just something HAS to be done and its either a new rig, or V8, or the possiblity or 2FE and H55, but Im still not convinced that the latter will make it much better.
Just the same, from what Im hearing here, I just might be in the same boat with a "FO Runnah" that is modded too with either motor in question.

Just considering the options while sticking with my love of toyotas!

All the help and responses are very appreciated!
