I know this isn't an LS1 or LS anything, but thought I would share anyway.
Turned up the boost a couple pounds from last time out and ran a lot faster than I was expecting. My previous best run was 12.2 @ 114 with 14 psi or so.
Stock long block 4.3l vortec V6
GT3582R turbo @ 16 psi
4L60E trans with shift kit
Running e85
Tuned by myself with hptuners

Also took it to a dyno day the next day and put down 356whp and 450wtq @ 13.5 psi
That's what I get for not paying attention. Anyway, that's a torque monster for a v6.
I'm confused by your apprehension to cam it... you've already turned an s10 into a turbo drag truck. Why not put the right cam in there? It doesn't need to be some high lift monster cam--just something that doesn't peak at 4500rpm and can take advantage of the top end power potential. The heads seem to be flowing fine.
I've done a bunch of supporting modifications and tuning, but the hot and cold side piping was done very well.
I really would like to put a cam in it, but I think the heads are also a restriction. I'm not sure how much I could gain with it, and there aren't a lot of people doing this to a 4.3l vortec v6 so I don't have anything to compare to.
The intake manifold is a marine manifold from a mercruiser boat motor. That allows me to run some siemens deka 80lb injectors. I'm runnnig them at 4 bar of fuel pressure and hitting roughly 70% IDC at 16 pounds of boost on E85
I mean this is honestly pretty cool man! It’s nice seeing something different like this and not the same old. Congrats on the new times and very impressive that it’s still holding together! I guess they are tougher motors then I thought lol
I'm seeing visions of an LS turbocharged S10 in my head right now! Nicely done Bubba!
There's was a guy back home who had a big tire Chevy Luv with a BBC stuffed under the hood that really turned some heads. Little trucks are great for Pro Street and drag racing machines.
Well, I've improved by 6 tenths in 2 years with only tuning changes.
First run was ~14 psi and second run was at ~17 psi
This winter I'm planning on upgrading the cam and valve springs.
That's awesome! I love to see that type of **** done w/o constantly throwing more bigger **** at everything. Way to sort it out dude! Great job sorting it. Take notes fellas......hat's how you hotrod.
I bet with more thought/tuning/tinkering it could 10s slb. Thanks for updating your thread!

I have a 2800-3000 (unknown from previous owner) stall converter already.
Electric Water Pump? I would like this for other reasons, but I don't think it would make that much of a difference in my E.T.
The main reason I think a cam would make a huge difference is because I can't use that 450wtq. That dyno pull was from when I was still learning, so those dyno pulls are with the converter locked and a bit misleading.
At the strip I launch at around 3000 rpm with about 6 psi of boost and within 1 second I'm at 4500rpm so I really don't use that area of the dyno chart. And I'm not at full boost until about 1.5 seconds.
I went back to the dyno at the beginning of September to try and do some tuning and cleaned it up a bunch. I have a couple things left in my bag for this year, so hopefully I can make it out to the track again before the season is over.
