took her through emissions last night and got her to pass the 3rd time I went. I forgot to re-enable some codes I took out when I first had her running. the lady at the emissions place made me laugh. she opened up the gas door to check my gas cap and its no longer there. but she just started searching in the gas door like it was just hideing from her or something. she looked at me like i had a third eye when I pulled it out of the bed.

there was a few kids that were working there that kept pointing at my truck and talking to eachother. finally one of them came over and asked if it was 4 linked. and I told him it was just the link style bars. I talked with him a little while and he told me he loved the truck and it sounded great, I guess he had a 99 dakota r/t with a 408 in it. I went to ask him more about his truck but he got called back to work.

I need wider rubber, when I get her to stick in 1st she loses traction again when she hits 2nd. and she is still untuned for the most part, all I have done is adjust the shift points and pressures. but luckily the stock engine tune is keeping me at a safe AFR, I'm picking up a new battery for my laptop and am going to start tuning the engine this weekend. I want to get her to the track but I dont think i'll be able to this weekend, but I will soon. If I dont hit 12s i'll be adding a wet shot, I might add one anyways just for kicks and killing turbos.

more pick and vids to come. I can promise a good tire smoking burnout this weekend, hopefully track vids next weekend.

You guessed right. Are you anywhere around me? Or are you another one of the phx guys?

sorry about korea man, that sounds less then fun. what gave it away that I was tucson?


Well the burnout is a day later then I said it would be but I just got her tags today, I was 2 minutes late on friday so they wouldnt let me take a number at the dmv. but all is good now and she will now be my daily. which means its time to start the new project

the tire fryin fun


and the aftermath!


the tune needs work but is safe. I keep an eye on everything with my scanner and wideband. no knocking anf afr is 14.4-14.8 at idle and 14.5 on the throttle 12.0 at WOT. I know once I lean her out just a hair and get the timing set she will be a beast.

after these tires are gone i'll be rocking some wider tires, maybe some drag radials on the rear, these dont keep traction too well.

Somewhere you mentioned how there wasnt crap there but in phx there was. I truely miss phx. IF they didnt have emissions testing i would be more motivated to move back. FL does not so it makes it easier to swap stuff plus i got the fastest 1/4 mile track g ville

I currently have an 04 silverado that was a 4.3 5 speed truck. I swapped a vortec 454 in it intially then swapped an 8.1 in it. now i am finishing off a better 8.1 with a mild turbo. then going back to a 454 based engine to make more power. I plan on using the 8.1's in a s-10 chassis like yours for a daily and my silvy as the weekend beast.

Good luck with that swap. The bbc into the s10 is not an easy one, much more cutting to fit then I did.

Your truck sounds sick, I was thinking of doing an 8.1 is the c10 or doing a blown 6.0 do you have a build thread somewhere?

nice build, really makes me want a lsx s10. What kind of budget(excluding the cost of truck motor and trans) would it take to accomplish this? I would like to do one with a cammed 5.3 and a t56 or a 4k stalled 60e.

if your talking about my truck then the budget was big, but it could be done for much less if you didnt do the rear end swap, front blazer brake swap, drop, blazer tank swap, and the other stuff I did. the swap is pretty cheap if you dont go all out. to get a cammed 5.3 into an s10 would cost.

headers 300-450
oil pan(h3 alpha) 200
wiring harness 650-800
bigger radiator and fans 400-900
mounts 60-250
walbro fule pump 125
nickle and dime stuff 100-300

I wouldnt go with a 4k stall, I love my 3200 circle d stall
