What size tires and what gears are you running? That can tell us a lot.

12 valve · « **Reply #10 on:** Apr 12, 2010, 02:40:27 PM »

37s and 5.29 gears w56 trans 6in allpro lift. 60 to 65mph is about max speed on the highway.

little slow but not that slow, my old 84 would do 60 max with 37s and stock gears.

the 22r is not a power house, i would suggest a motor swap.

12 valve · « **Reply #15 on:** Apr 12, 2010, 05:28:34 PM »

12 valve · « **Reply #16 on:** Apr 12, 2010, 05:30:12 PM »

well thanks for the help maybe i will just be happy with what i have for now.

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #17 on:** Apr 13, 2010, 12:59:22 AM »

My 80 had a transplated 22r with a 5 speed 4.30 gearing, double roller chain, Downey header, 20r hilux head, etc, etc, rolling on 35's. on flat level ground with a tail wind I could get 75mph in 4th shift to 5th and it wouldn't hold the speed. 5th gear is a waste of time unless you are going downhill.

-Jake- · « **Reply #18 on:** Apr 13, 2010, 07:33:30 AM »

man I must have an unusually good running 190k mile 22r. I can run it up to 80-85 with 5.29s and 37s, I can pull big hills and stay in 5th granted I do slow to about 60. 100% stock motor

yotaneck13 · « **Reply #19 on:** Apr 13, 2010, 03:42:11 PM »

65 is the max for my 90 re 35's 4:10 gears...whats 5th gear these trucks actuall have another gear? ive touched it mabye once

emsvitil · « **Reply #20 on:** Apr 13, 2010, 07:29:05 PM »

jeff22r · « **Reply #22 on:** Apr 13, 2010, 07:47:22 PM »

thers a few other small things but yeah as long as its a 84 or ealier block the 85 and ups have to be milled. the only thing i had to buy was 22r head gasket,adapter plate for 22r carb,and timing cain kit. theres a video on u tube.

To the original post.. If you need more spunk? Tune it up, free up the exhaust... If you want more, do a motor swap.
