Default how does this sound?

well i have spent many late nights digging up threads and doing my research, and i think i figured out my plans.

lq4 w/ forged pistons, L92/L76, somewhere around 9.1 to 1, FMS F9, D1sc, 3600 converter, 4l65e lvl 5.
Vehicle is a 2000 gmc sonoma, ext. can 2wd. The d1 alone will prolly make me more than happy as far as power goes, but i have always loved the way the F9 sounds and perfroms. I know some people wouldn't consider that cam practical for driving on the street, but it doesn't bother me. This wont me my daily driver, but it will be driven daily. LOL

Let me know what you think? Overkill? Good choice? anything.

Nothing is etched in stone yet, and i am not really in a big hurry seeing as the season is about over anyways.

The truck went 13.1@103 with the stock 4.3L, cam and p1sc. It weighed in at 3660lbs. So this setup should get me moving quite nicely....if i can get the traction.LOL

i dont really know to be honest.LOL I have looked at a lot of pictures of s10's with lsx swaps and i think it would fit on either side if i relocate the battery. I am gonna get rid of as much as possible under the hood to make as much room as i can. ABS, cruise, AC, blowermotor, etc. Its all coming off.

I can't imagine that. I would love to have a blown LSx in my 02 ZR2. Absolute damn pig... Looks like you're taking care of that! I personally think it'll be a bad *** setup.
