Default S-10 Xtreme 6.0 LSA supercharged

The truck has been done for a few months and other than a brake line leak last weekend it's been trouble free. Put a couple thousand miles on it over the summer.
Details
2000 S-10 Xtreme stepside
Stock 13,000 mile LY6
New LSA supercharger
ID850 Injectors
LS9 Cam
New GM 19303242 - Modified LSA Accessory Drive System
Stainless works Headers
Holley Dominator EFI
Close ratio TR6060 6-speed Trans13,000 miles from a 2013 1LE Camaro
Stock unmodified driveshaft
Stock 3.42 rearend (will get a 4,11 ratio 8.8 this winter)
Wheels are OEM C6 Z06 18x9.5 and 19x12 with Nitto Invo tires 275/35/18 front and 325/30/19 rear
19gal fuel cell in the bed and Bosch 044 mounted on the lower frame rail.

Still haven't decided if I'm going to bother with body and paint, It needs a little rust repair but right now it's just a fun daily driver.





Down to bare frame.



Narrowed 6" per side and added driveshaft loop



Engine ready to go in.





All new suspension with Bilstein shocks front and rear

Nice looking ride. Do you plan on taking it to the track at all?

I might after I get the 8.8 in it, The stock rear would grenade with sticky tires/track. I really just built it drive everyday. That's why I went with the LS9 cam instead of something that would make more peak power. Right now it idles smooth and drives like stock.

I have room for a 14" wide wheel so I could go the pro-street direction with a wheel and tire change.

Very nice. Which master and slave did you use for the clutch? Was it an automatic to begin with and how did you get the shifter to align with the hole in tunnel? Front suspension: whose upper and lower control arms and did you need spacers for the wheels/brakes? I think I see an ac compressor but is there a condenser?

Sorry. One last thing. I assume from the box that the radiator is from Superior. Whose fan and shroud did you use? Thanks.

Stock S10 Master, Stock LS3 TR6060 slave, The truck was an automatic and so I just built a box mount for the shifter and cut a hole the same size as the box and dropped it in. The shifter is about even with the front seat mount. Front suspension uses speedway motors S-10/G-body uppers with tall ball joint and the lowers are Moog replacements.
2" spaces on the front.
It will be getting AC completed this winter, I need to get lines made and figure out where I'm going to mount the intercooler so I can put the condenser in front.
Here is a link to the radiator/shroud/fan combo.

Funny thing is it looks stock so most people walk right past it at car shows and then some break their necks looking back when they realize it's not and back up to look closer.

The same thing can happen when they pull up beside you at at light.
They won't know what hit them!
