Well, I found another variable.




My Yoda doesn't 'pull' so good; as it is now.....

Compression was measured in the lower 110's.

Yeah that's the problem right there.
 
X2 Brian is right- a 20% loss in compression of a "good" benchmark number equates to maybe a 25 h.p. loss. Yikes!
 
With 33's as mine also at 50 on the speedo you are really going 60 mph as the speedo is off with those tires................Yes mine is slow too-but better without brake drag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Many years ago, I timed my FJ60 (at 7000' elevation). 0-60 took 40 seconds. After I put in a much-newer engine, it dropped to 26 seconds. So, I told my hot-rodding friends to 'ask me how I shaved 14 seconds off my 0-60 time'. They looked puzzled.

So, earlier today, I picked up my son and asked him to time the Yoda from the stop light for a 0 - 60 mph run. He used my iPhone, started the timer app.... And waited for the light to turn green....

So, off we go ! The 2F is turning the 33's over as forcefully as it can..... And 1 minute later, he stopped the timer and says, maybe next time you'll get to 60MPH dad. I only got to about 50 MPH....

So, what about the rest of you guys & gals?

It may be slow, but it can go anywhere....right?

Ran a 5K this morning and came across this sticker. I remembered this thread, so I snapped a photo. Want to know how long it takes from 0 to 60.......

It wasn't on a FJ40, rather a Honda Fit, but felt it was apropos for this thread! Albeit their 0 to 60 is mileage and not mph. :cheers:
 
My truck can get to 60 with stock gearing and stock sized tires, but it's not too interested in going faster. So I guess it'll do 0 to 60 in about ... Yes.

Saw one of those type of stickers on a 60. So naturally when I bought my 80 I added one as well :flipoff2:

When I took mine to the drag strip a long time ago, I had a crappy holley carb and a header. I pulled 21 seconds with 33 inch tires at 5000 feet altitude. Now that I have fuel injection on it, its a bit faster, and I get 16mpg with 35 inch tires doing 70.

What was your trap speed?

I've seen those (or similar) on a lot of VW Buses. :D

My gasser cruises have always felt similar to my old 1600 bus power-wise. But then again, I used to drive that old bus at 80mph on the freeway and people used to ask me what I had in it to make it go that fast. Just a strong engine and a heavy right foot, I guess.

If You can't easily achieve 65mph+ on the flats in your f/2F powered 40 series, you have something wrong. Secondaries working?
 
When driving a 40, one should be much more concerned with going from 60-0 than 0-60. Nothing is more terrifying than when some idiot cuts in front of you and you have to stand on the brakes.

Maybe if I add a "Line-Lock", and "speed-shift" all the gear changes (crunch!) I might get under 20 secs to 60mph, LOL! I'm in no hurry, but if I want a speed rush, I run my dragbike: 0-60 in 1.5sec, 0-115 in 6.0, 0-145 in 9.4. whew!:D
