Hi folks
a noobie here looking to mod a 94 Toyota pickup with a cap to higher mpg.
5 speed manual, 2wd, not looking for 90 mpg, but 33 would be nice. First mod is a custom, professionally built 4 cyl 22RE from the master in Ca. Fully balanced and blueprinted, flywheel and clutch also balanced. My biggest question is, what tires ? EXACTLY how much better are skinny tires than normal width tires ? I'm thinking I'll be finding out myself. This truck has no power steering or power brakes. The front end isn't exactly aerodynamic.
Any experience or suggestions with small trucks is welcome !!
