Just wondering if anyone knows what a stock luv runs in the 1/4 mile. I am tempted to run mine at the fun drags and get a baseline run.

Yeah, I got the truck for $200. They might be pontiac fiero bucket seats?
I would like to take some weight out of it before I run it. I just now challenged my friend's Ford Ranger to a race.

That maay, be do-able.

The 77 I had as a teenager back in '86 would out run any other mini truck around, only one to ever come close was an 84 Mazda B2000(I think).

But mine had a Weber carb, header, A/C ripped out, and just before "race" I would advance the timing just a touch.

I had a stock 'yota once, :oops: It seemed to be a little peppier than the stock Luv the high school had for a shop truck. I ran a 21.62 @ 63 MPH.

Dang, It felt kind peppy driving it around. Not Like in a v8 type of way, but certainly not in a 20 second 1/4 mile way.

Just gotta be consistent. My guess is that stock luv would run 17s to 19 seconds

Well, Farmer Joe is faster than a stock one with no mods, so I think the 20's are about right. That 'yota felt fast, until it was on the clock. 8O

When I first got my Pontiac Lemans back in high school, I thought it was Hot, even though it was a mostly stock 350 at the time. Me and a bunch of friends got together and took it to the track. I was a little embarrassed when the timeslip showed a 17.5 at 78 mph. It shut me up.

You could paint a picture of a big boot on the tail gate and maybe that will get you in the 19s :oops: but the weight of the paint might slow you down to the high 20s. :lol:

My stock 79 Ran 19.80@69mph. With a G200 Dual 44 Webers, cam, header, ported head, 5 speed it went 16.80@ about 80 or 81mph. That was back in 1990. I shifted it at 7800 rpm.
