You may have traction problems and is this gonna be a full race truck or track/street truck?? Seems like a good setup you just need traction and lots of it with that big nasty motor and n2o!!

In any state other than Texas that may work, but we got some fast *** trucks down here that run good. Big block and on tires, kills it for being a sleeper though

Sounds like a cool setup, but you may lose the sleeper look with 15 inch wide tires.

I have a friend that has a 72 c10 with a 502bb, he runs 12.7 with a camper shell on the back. He also has a 20 gal gas tank mounted in the back of the bed.


I dont know about 830 hp with a 200 shot, but 20 gal in the back would sure help a little
