matt

:edit: i checked out your website real fast..cmon man no pics of the heartbeat? your gonna have to share the love man dont leave me hanigiin.. :jest:

Well, actually it really wasn't bad to load, but I have to watch my angles and driveway aprons for sure. I put about 100 miles or so on the street, we didn't get it running til the middle of Oct.

Best e.t. N/A, was a 10.70, at 126.8, best of 10.35 with a 100 hit at 132.3, but my cam didn't like the spray, too close on the lobe sep.

Switching to a set of 18*s, and a bigger cam, this winter, and am looking for a mid 9 N/A, and a hi 8 on a mild hit. We'll see.

do you really think that switching to 18* heads and a bigger cam will drop your et by well over a second? think that may be pushing it, but perhaps you know something i don't since i don't know how much or how little the motor you have now has in it. what's the truck weigh out of curiosity? oh, and don't get me wrong, i hope you get every bit of what you're looking for. i'm just gauging how big of a difference the new setup really is. can't wait to find out.

later,

PH,

At first glance it may look that way.

But I am under convertered and my 60' times were a dismal 1.56 even with a new TCI 8" converter. We bought it and only picked up a tenth over my "tight" converter. I personally have picked up as much as 6 tenths with the right converter, not that I expect that here, but I believe there is some left.

I will also be going from a 303 cfm head to a 350 cfm head, and from a .688-.668 cam to something in the .800-.750 range. We were in the 620 hp range, and I'm hearing of many combos similar to where I'm going making above 800, so if I can get an honest 750 and get my drivetrain matched I see no problem attaining this goal.

There will also be a significant increase in compression, 12.75 to 1 to about 14.25 to 1. The heads I'm using were on a 2700 pound Camaro, with a 434 14 to 1 motor and ran 8.90 all motor, now that was in ideal conditions, and when they slowed down for the 10.90 class, it still ran 142 mph. so I'm using that info as well.

The truck is 2880, and 3180 w/me in it. Much heavier than I had hoped for, I really thought it would be 3000 w/me.

And just to add some info, that n/a pass was the first run after the secondary needle and seat stuck open and flooded the motor and entire intake and so it was burning off a little fuel...LOL. Thank God for an MSD Ign.

Unfortunately we broke a rocker arm on the last pass in the burnout, but it ran a 10.89 at 122 on 7, so I think that may have been a much better indicator, but I'll never know.

Please loose the visor :barf:

Please loose the visor :barf:
:werd: Plus its slowing you down :jest:

Boy....Somebody doesn't like my visor. LOL!!

I do, I think it sets the truck apart.

I don't think its a problem as far as mph goes, I have gone as fast as 127.77 on motor, and I'm feeling no lift on my front end, even when it went 132.35.

If I feel it becomes an issue at speed I'll get rid of it. It has 2 very large openings for the air to flow thru.

I think it's kewl but the windshield visor or whatever it is HAS TO FREAKIN GO!!!!!! Other than that its a kewl little ride.

Josh S.

sorry to say, but i'm with the rest of the guys too on the visor.........Ditch it!!! your truck is already set apart from the rest! i can tell you, i've never seen one even close in resemblence.

Dave

yeah i like fast trucks, but the visor and the front wheels are not that great.. other than that its a sweet lil s-10!

Well, you guys win!

On another forum a fella said he had a visor, and his buddies ragged him too.

So he took it off, and picked up 2 tenths, thats all the motivation I need!!!!!LOL!!

As far as the wheels go, we busted ass to finish the truck to get out at least some this past fall, I had those and money got tight, so they will match the rears by spring.

Thanx for the comments, I appreciate any input I can get.

I'm pretty sure at 132mph NObody will know the front wheels are different!!! :eek2:

Ok you said it you would take all input you can get, so i think you should let me drive it for you considering i only weigh 155lbs.

BadZ, yep, its great, I mean "Hell itsa truck how fast can it be"?? LOL!!

Josh69, ummmmm, wellll.....uhh....I'll think about it.

Any engine pics yet??

You know what, I was so busy tuning and testing, I never took pics after it was running, and now its coming back apart, so I'll att. what I have.

Sorry. I guess they are too big, I'll do something.
