Is the truck in the 15s yet? hehehe

Also, look at STS for an eventual twin turbo package for that LS
haha. what guys do is throw in the GM 14bolt 6 lug axle. if i ever need to, you sure bet i will! but from what i have seen in street trucks, even trucks running 12's in the quarter, they just have a Detroit True-Trac differential and that holds up.

and yea.... i would love to turbo this thing one day :sm29:

I wasn't planning on spending the money for my trans to get beefed up but the local guy who did it hooked me up. So if i had another 1500 or something like that for a nice clutch and manual trans, then yea it would have it!
As far as rear end, it is GM's G80 rear end.... which as far as I know is GM's nicer rear end for the 10 bolt.
My old motor is sitting in my brothers garage. I was supposed to be selling it to some guy I know who was tricking out an S10.
And insurance didn't go up.... as far as they know its just a v8 Silverado.
G80 just means it has a limited slip, doesn't really tell ya what rear end is in it.

The G80 is OK when its working, but I've seen more spin one wheel than two. :help:

And trust me.... everyone on the truck sites will say go with the 6.0 but i didn't. I couldn't find a 6.0 for as cheap as i got the LS1 and its an aluminum block vs. iron, so what the heck.

ohh nothin like breakin trakshun at 40 muffs. ( Muffs e.g. mph, Kelly Bundy special)

Auto's are more consistant at the drag strip.

Of course a 6 speed would of been bad @ss, but theres nothing wrong with the auto either.

The LS1 is an awesome engine no doubt, you really can't go wrong with it.

How much does that truck weight? Does it have a l/s rearend? What are you expecting it to run in the 1/4?

What did you do with your stock engine? 4.8 or 5.3? You could put it on v8s10.org and fetch some pretty good money for it I bet. :)
