As far as I know they are still a vendor, you can get them straight from their website(supercharger connection.com).

Nothing really to update on. I ran a new pb in the 1/8 since my last post. Other than that its been too cold to do anything for the most part. I just got a trans flush so my trans cooler is goin on in the next week or two, as well as a brake controller and some helpe airbags I bought from a member on here. Gonna be polishing up the centerlines and getting those back on in the next few days as well. I'm towing my friends 67rs/ss camaro to ocean city for cruise week in may. After that its game on for the turbo build.

So tiny update...

Turbo is going on the back burner for awhile. I know some people will think "well its been this long now, now what's the wait?" Well, as I put more miles on my truck the more I worry about something breaking when I need my truck the most. So while I still plan on doing it, it's going to be the last thing I do now.

What I am planning up currently is getting my rear diff, trans, and suspension stuff done. There are 3 shops locally that I need to get quotes from on doing the work. This is what is mainly holding me up. I hate the fact I have to have someone else do the work, but I literally have no place to work on my stuff and not nearly all the tools I need, but anyway.

Justin(BBP) will be in my area in a month for some tuning so Im going to try and take advantage of that and get my trans parts installed and just MAYBE a cam kit.

Id like to do a converter to but just not sure what stall I want and who to go through.

why not drive the s-10? and dont worry about anything breaking, you will never get anywhere.

just accept that something is going to break eventually.at the worst time ever and in some shady location..

I do drive my S10 most of the time(needs AC fixed). But Its got miles on it so there is just a lot of fixing up that needs done before I get to the turbo. So Im just gonna go ahead and do everything I want to do to the truck and THEN the turbo. That way everything else is squared away.

The s10, eventually I want to run some kind of 275 tire class with it. Or as fast as I can without bars coming out the back window.

How bad would It be to install it then drive it a few miles to get it tuned, or should I be looking into efi live?

yup its a bnib triple 12 with their .600" lift springs and 7.4" p-rods.

What all should I replace when doing the cam?


Hoping cam alone (w/ tune) will get me a good amount closer to a 9.00 1/8th. After that I will do rear end and trans w/ 2600-3000 stall converter.

Got bored today and put my new(much better than stock) plug wires on. I like how much beefier they are than stock but with the 45* boot and 90* off the coil it made it a little harder to get them lined up how I wanted. They could stand to be about an inch shorter so they don't have to bend as much.
