GMT400 vs GMT 800 Drag Truck
Looking for some opinions as I am having a hard time making a decision. Have an itch to build a performance oriented truck since going to the races with a friend last year but can't make up my mind between keeping and building the 98 RCSB I have or moving up to a newer 99-06 model.
OBS Pros -
Already have the truck
A little lighter (I believe) than the later generation
OBS Cons -
Engine and trans swap
Limited suspension options
NBS Pros -
Keep engine in it
More suspension options
Less wiring (I hate wiring)
NBS Cons -
Still have to swap trans
Plans are to start with a single turbo setup and grow from there. 500ish HP to start and then I know I'll get the bug for more. Anyone have any insights?

GMT400's look better, too. Roast me. I don't care.
