I sort of did. I planned to get 13's on a stock internal 4.8 then do heads/cam and run low 13's/high 12's. I did get 13's stock internal and have a cam but I haven't installed it yet; I will before the end of the year though.


Now I'm thinking cam and nitrous and well into the 12's; guess that'll have to be next year's goal

I did! it still runs, has alot of blowby but it runs..

Shouldnt have started messing with it. Turbo cam, 76mm turbo, Stall, built transmisison and it went 2ths slower at our 500' track. also gas mileage as dropped 6-7mpg which sucks. so pretty fed up with it.

S10 is almost finished tho, should fire it up this weekend. hopefully it actually does something.

rear flip kit
circle d 3 disk converter
bigger cam
got 15" slicks (but no wheels haha)
a stand alone fuel system for race gas

I made the switch to turbo and ran .01 better than my nitrous set-up. Only cool thing is I don't need to refill bottles and turbo never runs out. It's way more fun to drive and power level will reach 800rwhp plus this month. I have another shot at 10's if SAR doesn't recognize my truck.

wanted to go to the track and run low 13s (was truly hoping for a 12.99). ended up with a 13.5 while losing 2nd so had to rebuild trans. but i was sidetracked as to the fact that i was sent to georgia for work from june-october so i didnt have much time to touch the truck. i did change my full exhaust from long tubes with true duals flowmasters to switching it to a single magnaflow with a cutout and i did pay the truck off.
