Ive had the fj powered 1600 pulling 7800rpm in top gear with a 3.54 diff and yoky 215 by 65 by 14's.It would pull that with ease but its pretty scarey.Apparantly brett was pulling over 8500rpm with a 3.0 diff when he won the speed day at pearce air base beating the ferraris and porsches which needed longer than the flying k to reach there top speeds.
