Oh I bet, I understand the weight and tires. Just a little razzing, bet it will cruise very nicely. I can hum along at 70 pretty good, except for the noise, and any hill just kills me. My FJ60 just doesn't get knocked down as bad on a grade, I think the torque band must have been wider on the later 2F versus the F155. The taller tires hurt me some too, but it made for a nice rubber overdrive, again on flat ground, but I have not seen any fuel savings, infact lost some MPG with taller heavier tires.
Does the Sniper feel linear? I would assume so, with a carb you always have the little lull and kick at the secondary initiation. My Holley just would dump it in, very snappy but would eventually wind out, jetting was real picky on it. My T100 is very linear in its revs with the multiport, at least it was, the miles and time seem to be coming on as some hesitation, probably needs injectors cleaned.
Be interesting to see the mileage. With my Holley 2barrel, I always got 12-14 MPG at the most. When jetted richer it ran hotter but got 10 MPG. Went to a frankenstiened 2F carb, was getting upwards of 16 MPG, with stock sized tires. Went to larger tires and a Trollhole carb, and now a FJ60 carb and only getting 13 consistently. Speedo is calibarted for tires, so these are good numbers over 20 years of ownership.
