from talking to steve i believe that the lt1 will be perfect for what he wants to do. Hes on a budget, already has a decent motor so why not stick with it\> Hes not going for a track record with the truck. My lt1 was pretty strong, went 13.7 stock. they have potential that a lot of people dont know or want to know about. ---

I would be afraid he will hurt himself with an LSX in a lite weight S-10. Open diff FTW. You’re not going sideways anywhere. LoL. LT1 will still be a hand full in a little pickup Like GermanPSI said to me the other day “a 500hp civic is fun but a 300hp firebird can get scary” I hope there are plans for some wide sticky rear tires and a traction aid or two ---
