Been at this for 4 years now, the slow process of building a race car while being a full time student, and part time worker! Finally graduated this last semester so I have a little more time to work on the build with my dad, until I begin law school. So enough of the backstory, at $9 an hour this is what I have put together.

2000 s10 Stepside Extreme
Mono Leafs / Caltrac setup
90/10 Calvert front /Moroso Trick Springs
Viking DA rear shocks
Ford 9 inch 370 gear
th400 transbrake

Engine
6.0 /Ls3 head combo (stock bore 6.0)
custom cam from Martin 23x/25x 62x/62x
super victor intake
750 Holley
1 7/8 headers
arp everything
wisco protru dome piston
Stock rods

Looking to spray 200 shot

Close combo, 239/247 .624 I/E 10.8:1 6.0/LS3 combo (LY6 basically) 750 Mighty Demon, 1 ⅞ headers, 5000 stall TH350.


@3450# W/ me in it, has been 10.96@121.54...still a few tenths in it....but as is w/ a 150 shot, 9.8-9.9 do-able.

So with your combo, guessing compression, and using a 200 shot....I believe you'll be in the 9's

I believe you will easily see 9's with that set up. Truck has to be fairly light?

AnthonyLMBD

Thank you, I think the truck should be around 3000-3200 lbs. will weigh it soon and cut weight if necessary!

You are in good shape then. I have run 9's with less than what you are planning lol

AnthonyLMBD

Thank you! Just curious.

panda240ss

we should run it when we are done brotha!

AnthonyLMBD

For sure! Just started law school so my truck has taken the back seat for quite a bit!

AnthonyLMBD

Just got it up and running. Should have some track numbers soon!

Made it to FL2K. Got a few passes in, the best pass was 11.90 @118 . I need to find a way to get my 60ft down. I’m consistent around 1.8-1.9 ... I was running MT streets @16psi . I have a 370 gear, Caltracs, da Vikings rear, 90/10 up front with Moroso trick springs. I understand I am super limited since my cam and converter are made for nitrous. Pretty happy with the results, but I want to improve! Any advice?

Is the truck spinning? Or is it hooking and the converter is to tight?

AnthonyLMBD

Took it back to the track Saturday NA. Did one pass and let off. It lifted the front tires a bit leaving at 3800rpms, let off and got back into it. Went 7.52 to the 1/8 ... 1.82


60ft cause I let off.

When I went for a second pass I didn’t leave the line. I had a lowering block on the car and it expanded when I launched causing the rear end to shift up which broke my drive shaft and the drive shaft broke one of my caltracs lmao .

AnthonyLMBD

Went to a local rack and managed a 7.1 with a 1.64 60ft NA on a no prep

What did you change? You never answered my question?

AnthonyLMBD

Higher stall converter, and adjusted the shocks a little!!

AnthonyLMBD

I also added slicks instead of MT streets.
