Will it fit? heh heh heh.
10 seconds, here i come...

Hey everyone!
So, i totalled my 98 c5 vette... Insurance company didn't want to pay me what i wanted, so parting it out is making me a fair amount of extra change... Plus it gives me an LS1 to play with!




I'm not a newbie, been around this board for years... EVEN ON THE FRONT PAGE ONCE W/ THE TURBO SUZUKI BANDIT!
but been around Turbo projects for a while...
95 civic turbo'd Dyno'd 404whp
04 Suzuki bandit 1200cc Dyno'd 260whp (Search: Tony the Tiger suzuki Youtube)
Turbo'd my 120hp 4 stroke Outboard on my Checkmate 16' boat.





This is my new project!::::::::::::::::
2000 s10 single cab short bed. 2.2L 5-spd
179xxx miles
Few rust spots and dents
Bought the truck for $1000 buckaroos!!! from a chap up in New Hampshire.
I pretty much stole it i think.

This truck is perfect for my project. It has the 5 speed, 2wd, NO A/C!! so no box under the hood to deal with for clearance.



Basic rundown of the numerical alphabet soup plans.
S10 - truck
LS1, basic strength mods. ARP rodbolts, headbolts, Compcam Valve springs, pushrods
GM Hotcam
BRIB underdrive pulley
T56 - 6 speed
T70 Turbocharger (single) 8psi to start
8.8 - Ford rear end 3.73 gears, limited slip, disc brakes, ladder bars (5.0 explorer rear end)
8.8 Rear end is 31 spline!!!! Yes!

Goal of 550whp!Just for a start~
Lets see how it goes! 550 i want to the wheel... I'm limited by stock pistons/rods... but i got some re-assurance. ARP Rod bolts, head bolts, conservative timing, 93 octane, etc...
By pulling timing and upping boost to 12psi~ i should be well over 600 to the wheel in my 3,045 lbs S10. The stock LS1 timing map is very aggressive, which is why it requires 91 octane. Not high compression, but very aggressive timing... So pull some of that out, more boost = more hp safely.







There she is! The new s-10!!!!!!
That's also my "new.to.me" daily driver, 02 SVT focus. Peppy little car, fun to drive.
There in the garage is what's left of the Vette getting parted out.
Poppa-Dukes Jeep in the pic too, and mamma-dukes Honda

i WANTED to keep it cheap... but it didn't turn out that way. Through selling the parts off the 98 vette, i am making way more than expected, so i reached a little more into my pocketbook than i originally wanted.

Anyway, here's a basic breakdown:
I'll update this list as i go, and keep adding things to the "I Wanna Buy It" thread haha.
