Your car runs good, I have a 86 s10 that runs 6.50 or so with a old 406... I have a 04 lq4 that I have a msd 6010 for an a single plane carb intake.. the rest of the truck is th350 4000 conv. 9" 411 gears caltrac bars etc. truck weighs about the same as a fox body..I just can't decide if I want to go l92 or 243/799...this started to be a low dollar deal and run the times I did without running race gas and would behave alittle beater on the street... and adive Billy please feel free to pro/con it for me... thanks..

other than having a flat nose the s-10 platforms make good racetrucks as long as you have caltracks or somethig in that nature...sounds like you have a good plan and should get what you want...thanks billy...ps i would go with the L92's

Thanks Billy..kinda worried about the ptv with the l92 once I mill them....I know I'm gonna have to cut them but everybody seems to say it's hard to get the comp up on them..

Congrats on the new times!! Would a stock hood fit on the car without that carb spacer?

I think that would be dependent on the intake manifold. I have the single GMPP intake with an 850 Carb and no spacer and the stock hood is impossible.

Well, you have me dying to get some 243/799 heads that will be ported on my 6.0 now, i am only trapping 91.8x with a 5000 RPM launch with a 6 speed bogging, scared to break the stock drive shaft, i have the stock 317s, and i know my car is about 3600 with me in it, you have me wanting to cut allot of weigh now.

there is a set of 799's in the for sale thread right now for $300...

Gotta wait, starting a business ad all my funds are going to be used for a bit.

You neeed to port those 799s, they will work great for you. L92 would like a bigger engine, the cathedral ports do great for out 6.0 and smaller apps.

What psi in the m/t's did you run to go the 1.34?

Billy...you make me sick! lol

Thanks for taking the time to talk to me on the phone. I needed some motivation . Basically after we talked, I/we came to the conclusion that my converter was way off(which it was according to Greg @ FTI) and the tiny carb that is on it.

I swapped out the redneck 4k converter this past weekend for a custom 9" 5200-5500 FTI piece. Now I'm waiting on my Pro- Systems carb. I hope to have it by the middle of next week.
I also got to thinking about my cam. I'm running a Texas Speed 233/239 cam. Another guy on Tech had a major issue with a tsp cam. It was ground all F'ed up, like 23* retarded.... I think the first chance I get, I'm going to tear down the front of the motor and stick a degree wheel on it. I know I should have done it to begin with, but....

Anyway, Keep us updated!
