Oh hell yeah on that opti-spark business. #1 reason I didn't go LT1. Almost every single LT1 owner I know has had at least 1 opti go out on them.(like 7 guys) I know the guys at Haddad motorsports and they tell me they replace optis on a weekly basis.

Sweet pics of an S10 with the LT1. I am currently looking at picking one up localy. The truck runs and looks great. The only things that it needs are the 3.73s bumped up to 4.10s and the rims on the truck are to narrow with 215s tires on them.

Damn thing didn't notify me of reply didn't see your post till today... Your **** is beyond sick LS6 That nitrous system is crazy. And that center console control center is awesome as well! That thing is gunna haul some *** for sure. .

I take it you already test fit your custom airfilter assembly...How much room is there between that and the radiator and is the radiator in the stock location?
How much nitrous you plannin on runnin? Stock 3/8 lines fuel system? You using a LS6 block?

i think ill go with the manifolds too, headers are too expensive for the moment. all depends on finances when i wanan do this. im also thinking about smoothing the fire wall and putting the brake system under the dash

Thanks alot, hopefully it will move along pretty good. I have a/b 1" to 1 1/4" b/t the radiator and the filter and yes the radiator is in the stock location. Probably 120 shot. Using 3/8 braided lines and just a LS1 block.

My blazer driveshaft was too long and and had a large Vibration dampener/coller around the yolk that interfered with the f-body's torque arm-transmission mounting points. I ended up using the fbody drive shaft yolk welded and balanced to my blazer driveshaft. Local driveshaft shop did it for $75.
