FEELER:98 GMC Sonoma 443rwhp Just a feeler here....I have the itch for a C5 and would love to just find a trade with cash from my part. I have owned this truck for 10 years and I am the 2nd owner. I bought the truck from the guy who special ordered it and it only had 17k miles when I purchased it.
The truck: 98 GMC Sonoma, Extended Cab with 3rd door, ZQ8(sports handling option) stepside with shaver kit and shaved tailgate.
Truck is lowered 4"~5" (spindles and springs in front, Belltech drop leafs and blocks in rear)
Boyd Coddington Smoothie 2's 18x8 front and 18x9 rear.
The rear has Slide-a-links and the factory 3rd hop shock.
Spray in bedliner with soft bed cover to cover the battery and NOS bottle.
Factory bucket seats with all power options
The engine is a 2003 LQ4 that had 53K on it when I bought it.
ARP2000 rod bolts and head bolts installed.
New cam Bearing were installed also before the swap.
New LS7 Lifters and trays
New High Torque Starter
PRC 2.5 5.3 heads milled .020"
224/236 XFI lobed cam 111+2
UD Pulley
Ported Fast 92/92
1.5" Sanderson Shorty Swap Headers
8.5:1 DCR
10.8:1 SCR
Tru Dual Exhaust all mandrel bent 2.5" dumped with Borla XR1 copies
T-56 from a 98 f-body
Ls7 Clutch and updated hydralics with speed bleeder
Pro 5.0 Shifter
New AC Delco C6 air compressor and new AC Parts ( A/C Blows cold air )
Truck has a HSW plate kit installed, but I have not purchased the 92mm plate for the upgraded intake. THIS ENGINE HAS NOT BEEN SPRAYED. Explanation and build thread is here http://www.s10forum.com/forum/f213/n...-6-0-a-380754/ (LOTS OF PICS in that link, but some of that info is old)
Truck made 443 RWHP and 422 RWTQ and has gotten a best of 26mpg on the interstate with the A/C on and Cruise set to 75mph.
link to dyno graph and results are here https://ls1tech.com/forums/dynamomet...mc-sonoma.html
Truck has only been to the track once since the intake change and went 12.5@115.6 with a 2.19 sixty in 1700 DA. It should run mid 11's on motor with traction.
EXTRAS
The truck will be getting a all black paint job in November and Envoy HID lights installed. I have new carpet to swap out, I have the original ZQ8 wheels with a set of drag radials mounted (included) A set of new Nitro drop shocks, new Torsen carrier, Girdle cover, HSW Micro Edge. Adjustable Drag Shocks, sub and amp with box. I'm sure there is more here and I will update it as things come to mind
Some Pics can be found here.....

Thanks for the kind words....
Looking to trade plus $$ for a Corvette. It may be up for sale in the future if nothing comes of this. But you are more than welcome to make an offer if you are interested, as you know everything has a price.....even my wife!

Thanks man....I'm just wanting to see what will come up. I Dont have to sell/trade it but I would eventually like to get into a vette. If nothing else, I will just 4-link it with a stalled auto and have some fun at the track......Just feeling around so we will see.
