ok here is the deal, i have owned my truck for about 6yrs and since then i have taken out the old drivetrain and replace about 1 yr ago, but lately i have grown tired of it (at least 6mths). I'm really really wanting to go faster so im looking to get into a tbss of g8 gt model, im currently putting together a ls1 swapped 1st gen s10 to be a daily because right now my current truck is my daily/toy. just dont know what to do.. my current truck is in the sig below

 

Throw some boost at it! That will make it fun!

 

i truly have me debating that alot doing a cost effective turbo build

 

"Cost effective" and "turbo" dont go well together, regardless of what the internet says. A nice procharger, whipple, or maggie would be way easier for a DD type of vehicle. Even though the upfront cost looks higher its actually better in the long run.

 

I have to agree with atomic on this one...

 

what's your definition of fast? if you actually want to go fast, don't do it with a full size. I had a ecsb heads/cam/nitrous 5.7 LS1 Silverado that went a best of 7.43 @93 to the 1/8 on a 150 hit. my s10 went 6.80@101 with a 6.0 on low timing short shifting. I think I could have put that truck into the 6.6x range before ever grabbing the nitrous.

That's my advice anyways. it can be done with a truck, but with a lot more money and broken parts

 

I sold my full size RC 6.0/4l80 and got a RC Colorado (not getting rid of it) and had plans but I just got to missing the full size so I bought the '14. Very happy with boost. Its never fast enough but fast enough to be a lot of fun. My nephew has a 63 Nova 434 with a bottle. Feels like 6.0x-6 teens on motor. Pretty scary on the street. Fast is relative.
