How cheap to hit 8s?
if you can keep it at 2900# raceweight you will only need about 750whp to run a 9.00. As said a plain S475 will do that (I have done it myself with a cam only 6.0) and you can get a new one for $650
you guys with your $2k fuel systems are off your rocker, you can do a 1000whp E85 setup for less than $1k
IMHO, your best bet is a carb and nitrous, a stock 5.3 will hold 300+hp worth of hose, spray a 175 out of the hole and another 150-200 over 5000rpm Dual plate systems at $500 a piece, super victor, 950 carb

Ya but your an idiot with an idiot thread imho. If I knew who you were and you tried to line up next to me on a regulation track, I would quickly and simply put your front teeth thru the back of your head for attempting to put my life in danger or any other fool around here that wants to try it. Now if this is goofy ls1 tech fantasy talk then lets be queers and talk about it. But I would put your stupid *** in its spot stupid quick, cause I dont like idiots with no brains that think 150 mph is cool in a **** box. There is a reason why a stupid thread exists only on a place called ls1 tech and not one other forum in the whole world. Lol Id mess u up even if you showed up next to me at the local drive in. Also its funny martin from tick is the only sponser dumb enough to say anything imho. Martin you couldnt spec me a freakin vespa cam. Just dont like you either. Guys like you and ls1 tech and one or two of its sponsers will quickly get the govt against new age hot rodders.

Hey Martin, I hope the ****** come few and far between, and just remember the few ****** you will encounter, you just can't make happy, no matter what you do. I know I'm very happy with your service.
Just gets to you sometimes. Posts like yours outweigh those posts 10/1 though!

As for the fuel system, If you go with a metal tank in an f-body or with the s10, the same metal sending unit can hold 3 walbro's which I think would be good enough with e85 to feed this setup. New Era Perfromance used to sell them for 99 bucks shipped. Here you go.

Here is the 2 tank setup from Mightymouse. You can add a 3rd pump in there if look closely that aluminum fitting has a 3rd port. Mightymouse added a 3rd pump later when he wanted to go faster.

With all of the budget builds going around, i really just wanted to see what people could come up with. Definitely some efficient setups thrown out there so far.

Can it be done? Maybe. ($5k)
Would it be something I'd want to drive considering you'd have to cut corners to do it? Not a chance.
Shop for a lot of used parts. Don't cheap out on safety when this timebomb lets go.
It's been proven that a stock bottom 5.3/6.0 can go 8's BUT there is a lot more parts that make the car run an 8 second 1/4. Chassis/Suspension setups are not cheap by any means especially if you're doing it on a 275 radial. Cut corners where you can but I wouldnt try a $5k budget to prove a point if you're risking your life to do it.

I've only seen a couple of his builds, he has a ton of awesome info for going fast CHEAP, but has he done anything close to 8's? I love his truck, thought about doing the same thing to my Denali.
