my camera guy had to bail on me and I found the drunkest person to give the camera to on the last pass!

 

Sons a bi*ch, lol. That is a rocket out of the hole, what rear are you running?

 

stock s10 8.5", spool, 33 spline axles and waiter for it.......STOCK gm 3.42 gears!

Its bending the axle tubes on it though. Im going to build a fullsize truck rear end with larger diameter axle tubes and brace it up off the rear diff cover this winter hopefully.

 

Holy **** that is one sweet *** truck! Congrats on those times. Its rides like this that always keep me going on my LT platform. By the way what's your race weight?

 

Impressive that it holds all that power. Don't they come stock with leaf springs and drum brakes too???

 

My Sonoma did.

 

Race weight with me in it is 3500lbs

It did come with leafs and drums and it still has a leaf spring on the back with caltrac bars. Drums have been gone for awhile now. It has willwood 4 pistons all the way around.

 

where is the turbo mounted?

 

I believe he mounted it forward, there is some info in the link to the turbo forum.

Also sweet ride dude, I like how that leaves the line.

 

Here is a shot of during the build and one of it more recently

 

man that compartment is tight, had to get rid of the wheel wells. Probably not an issue in Texas. I put your pics in the post directly, easier to see instead o attachment...

 

it is definitely 10lbs of **** in a 5lb bag! Its not nearly as bad as it looks though. Ive had apart enough that I can do it with the lights out.

 

soooooooo has tony talked you into coming to the shootout next year yet? im sure we would love to see you there!

 

I was on the fence on coming this year then a few weekends before I broke the stator in the converter and smoked the trans so that put it out for this year. Maybe next year. Is it always in Kentucky? My tow vehicle with truck in tow gets 9 mpg! That's a hell of a gas bill on a 1500 mile trip! I'm just a poor boy playing a rich mans game.

 

That's bad-***.. them Caltracs work, I was told to get them for my S10 and I've seen them in action on may leaf setups. I'm not as setup like that..but they work good on the street.

That's got some weight to it..I figured it'd be a little lighter.

It'd be a good race against the guy that holds the stock 5.3 bottom-end record..it's in a S10, Turbo, Powerglide..yanks the tires up going into 2nd and runs 8 something..

I hope he weighs in with the toilet paper needed for when you **** yourself going across track..
