Default 86 k5 with a 6.0 lsa swap

I have a 1986 Chevy k5 lifted 6 inches in pulling the 502 bbc out of for a ly6 ported ls3 heads btr3 cam and a ported lsa blower to 102mm. The upper pulley is a 2.4 stock lower and a completely built 4l60e with a adapter for the vss to my 208np transfer case. I'll be running a 60 /40 mix e85 and 93 oct with a zex 125 wet shot. Third-Gen Jesse Olsen has been helping me like crazy and made me a set of rails with bungs for my nitrous to keep it clean and so ill have a return feed line. I'm hoping for 650 700 on 10 11 psi with my cam and 850 900 on spray. All my neighbors have raptors from working at the ford plant and my k5 with the bbc would tear them up off the line but top end not so much so lot the swap begin

I can't wait to see this run! My buddy had a mid 70's K5 with a built 454 and only 3.08 gears in the early 90's.... but it would still rip from a start and such a heavy beast. With a TH400 and 35" tires it got about 6mpg no matter how you drove it....

What trans and gears/tire size are you running?
