Oh yeah... its that time!!!

BTW - Disclaimer; again we spent no government money at all; nor did we exceed the speed limit - we just warmed up some tires (it is cold here) -

But seriously, we do have to follow rules... so no one call Congress.

The Land Bruiser is officially retired from spirited driving - it will now live out it's days as a tow vehicle for the Dive Team.

Thanks again for all the positive feedback.

The fuel map is below:

Intercooler = removed for weight savings

You are insane (wait, can you even have beer there?)
Fricken awesome!

The secret to tuning - the less you care about the vehicle, the faster it will go.

HEHE - I thought of it - but they are way too heavy. There are Turbo Hummers here - but with all the armor; they are still pretty slow. When you have a Humvee that rides like a cadi - you know it is HEAVY!!!!

Props to Toyota - that engine is a champ! I would guess the bottom end is the same as the supra? Maybe not at this is a 4.0; either way it never gave us trouble after all we did to her...

Priceless. I was hoping you would mount it on 2x4s

I demand a compressor map, dyno sheets, and 1/4 mile times! Oh, and whp and gas mileage...
