I can't catch the S-10
Its a SBC 434 with a 300 shot
Runs 5.80's
But, I hate going to the track by myself so I only like to go when someone else is there
Ask him to turn the bottle off then you guys can run... I myself am building to go 10.2 - 10.3 and drive it on the road... whats the weight on that... I use to have one back when I was in school(was a /6 but I put a 273 in it) but I dont recall the weight... I want to say 3000
Go small block turbo,all he will see is your tail lights

For a 11.50 and up ride, I would go with frame connectors, ladder bars to make full use of stock wheel wells. Will have to set the rear axle back about 3/4 inch. Front would get a home made rack and pinion, coil over/spring combo with pass side shock tower layed over to fit TTI 67 up bb a body under chassis headers. I don't know if going with the rack and dumping the torsion bars give enough room for the headers, but plan to find out in the future. Those two moves open up a ton of space combined with a little shock tower surgery. The plan would be minimal shock tower move to keep the stock appearance theme as much as possible. Motor would be a 512 BB low deck, Indy dual plane with a juice cam and eddy heads. If you go conservative on the cam, it should stay in the mid elevens and idle like a kitten. Want more? Roll bar, head porting , looser converter and a big flat tappet and you are running 10.s Want 9.s? dump the dual plane for an x type intake, cage /dominater/roller. Another route would be a hotter motor, no roll bar but a throttle stop to keep you at 11.50, but a mean mph!

maybe a new hemi with turbo and a 518 trans, I guess the motor could be close to stock and still make a LOT of power, but I don t know anything about these motors, just what I ve seen here... and I really like your car

Keep it the sleaper look for stealth mode. Put in a moderate stroker smallblock making it run high 10's / low 11's. Just make sure you install a towbar to bring you real racecar to the track
