We are going to make our own or order the 4 link bars form http://qualityairride.com and make all the other brackets and hardware. They also have lots of S10 kits. The air bag kit will probably get from http://airbagit.com there local for us.

Well we have our engine build all figures out...
01 LQ4
L92 Heads
H3 Oil Pan
HPE Mega Death Cam 244/242 612/610 112 lsa
.660 Lift Valve Springs
L76 Intake
102mm Throttle Body
Flat Top Pistons
Full Roller Rockers
LS2 Lifter trays
We might bore it .030 over but we heard boring without stroking has no power gains. Can someone confirm this?
We are hoping for around 500+ RWHP
