Seems a little fishy but i timed my 0-60 yest. and it's 24 sec., but if i skip a gear then it feels like i accel. faster

i'll clock skippin' gears tomorow but it's wet outside so i feel like doin' a burnout.

I've gotton my 79 LUV to 115mph. All I did was advance the timing a little and she runs a lot better.

I just clocked my 0-50 with a warm motor (my 0-60 was with a cold motor), it's 15 sec. so i geuss that's pretty good for a diesel luv seeing as how when i first got the truck it's 0-50 was FFFTTTT.... 37 seconds!!!!

i have a police officer friend clock me at 112 on flat land w\no wind. this is w the 5spd and just about every hp mod you can make(weber, header,cold ram air,ei, high rpm cam, and the s15 rearend(4.10\1)

it ran this at 7000rpm and i blew my oil pan gasket in the process, so i don't advise it unless you plan on replacing the engine more sooner than later.

as for 0-60 times i'm running around 7sec if i don't come out of 3rd gear.
