if i do the colorado i will probably turn down the silverado a little. something like a 370 with stock heads. maybe put a bed liner in there and use the truck for everything(get rid of my ford beater). hopefully it will still run in the high 10's and tow my really fast colorado race truck. i hope to keep the colorado stock looking and driveable too.

hahahaha, if that were true, it would have been broken a year ago!
I think those parts are pretty damn sturdy from the factory... I guess that's obvious...

2 things: first, how much you wana sell the blue beast for, I bet there are more than a few guys that would pay some decent cash on this site to have it
second, have you thought about a syclone/typhoon? as far as I know there only runnin 9's.

if someone wanted to pay me $50k for it i would sell it.
if anyone is interested i think it is good for high 10's on pump gas just doing a little brake boosting and close to mid 10's still on pump but with a nitrous spooing shot.
i think this truck would be prety reliable running mid 10's. it just doesn't feel like it is working very hard at that level.
