Thanks. We had the throttle backed off for her 1st year. When I ran it, it went 11.73 so should be in the 60s with her. She did very well with it for her 1st year. Picked up 2 wins and a R/U.
Not to understate I love what you built. I'm getting ready to start the assembly part on my white 94 Sonoma ext cab. I'll be installing a complete Painless wire harness as it's going to be a street /strip truck, Quick Performance 9" with Detroit locker, 35 spline and 3.55 gears with complete Caltracs system, 4L80E 3000/3200 stall with lock up convertor and balloon plate. For engine i'm going 10.7 to 1 399ci 17* stroker 1st Gen SBC, dynoed on 89 but will be running 91 pump. I anticipate having as much fun with my Sonoma as I expect your daughter to have with her S-10. Great job Dad!...............Shooting for mid 10's N/A and mid 9's on the juice. I noticed you mention the Strange brake master cylinder and assume you feel comfortable with it letting your daughter drive the truck, would you feel comfortable with it for a daily driver? Would you mind letting me know the rear rim offset you used due to the fact i'm sure we have identical axle housings.? Due to the fenderwell headers i'm thinking I might have a different offset for the front. What line lock are you using, I like how clean the install looks.
I wouldn't feel comfortable with her driving this on the street. It's just too radical and things could get ugly quick. Rim is 8" with 4" offset. Line lock is Jegs brand. Thanks for viewing.
did you remove the front sway bars ? hell of a dad,i have a 05 white blazer i installed a cammed 6.0 and centrifical supercharger every nut and bolt by myself and im dissabled and it about killed me,i finished off my right elbow i think for good haha,ive never had a white vehicle but it was all i could find with a manual now i have a t65 6 speed in it,never will see the track and dont go out racing at night,went to jail for that long time ago,not much fun,i just built it to have fun and maybe get on it when im pissed off lol i love the extremes they look so cool with the ground effects,guess i could save up and buy the kit,im going with a 2 inch cowl just to change the shape up some,it looks like a egg to me haha.well later guys
Love the truck but is the solid throttle rod a good idea? Know a guy that did basically the same thing and one day a motor mount failed, the motor twisted and cocked the throttle wide open.
@@718racer1 The 67 Camaro had the issue as well. Driver side clam shell engine mount would come apart under heavy load and engine would raise on that side opening the carb in the process and down the road i went! 😲
I took the stock cluster and removed the lexan cover and the guts. Used only the mounting shell. Traced around the shell to make the gauge panel from aluminum. I can send you pics if you share email address.
2800#s less driver. With me driving (200#s)the truck went 11.73 115mph. That was in 4300ft corrected altitude. We have it detuned to running 12.0s for our daughter.
@@aguitarhero007 Thanks! Doesn't run bad for what it is. Little bit of head work and maybe a different cam would put it in the low 11s for sure. It has some potential.
@@718racer1 agreed, I love content like this because I'm about to do my first LS swap and I'm going to start with a 6.0. It's nice there is so much content that is very similar. I'm hoping to start with an LY6.
Super clean build !! Great work, your daughter is very blessed!!! Can’t wait to to see what it runs

nice truck man! thinking of doing a 6.0 or 6.2 in my 03 xtreme
Thanks. It's been a fun project with a lot of potential!

Wow. Never thought of that.

@@mewrongwayKOCXF so rather than fix the throttle, i think i will fix what breaks. The engine mount. Go to a solid mount.
@@718racer1 ya thats what i did. Awesome truck you have!
@@mewrongwayKOCXF Thanks!
As a proud owner of 2 xtremes. I think your truck is very bad ass. Suck it's not street legal tho but we know😉
How did you make your dash with the gauges in it? I’m interested in doing the same.
I took the stock cluster and removed the lexan cover and the guts. Used only the mounting shell. Traced around the shell to make the gauge panel from aluminum. I can send you pics if you share email address.
Nice build. What engine mounts and headers did u use?
I am not sure. The engine/trans was already swapped.
What mufflers were on there?
What did it cost to build I have been wanting to build one
I purchased it with the engine/trans already swapped for 5K. I suppose I have another 5-6K into it.
@@718racer1 Awesome it looks and sounds nice
Thanks
What’s the race weight? Did you ever make any passes?

@@718racer1 That's impressive. Great setup for her to learn with!

@@aguitarhero007 That should run hard with the rectangular port heads!
317 heads? Oh no… swap them out for 862s and pick up a few 10ths
Ha! I know...Will the 862s be faster than the 243s?
