drag s10's

[jimmya]

how many mainly drag s10's are around this site? I noticed there hasn't been a new thread in racing in a while?

[lowriderbowtie]

the truck im getting on sunday will be a pretty good 1/4 truck ;)

[T Man]

Too cold to race!

[KODIAKWARRIOR]

yup look back in march, thats when were taking our 2003 s-10 with a built up 383 stroker out to run it for the 1st time. thats when that thread will start to be real active

[Dogsofjune]

No competition around here.



<sniff>

[T Man]

Ill come up to lawrence and wax your ass when my sbc goes in. Better crank that blower waaaay up

[Dogsofjune]

Too cold to race!


Phhhffffffft! Your goofy!

[Sparky2263]

Only tracks around here that are still open are further south than me. Racing season is over, building season is upon us.

[baggedandcaddied]

i agree with sparky to bad i dont have the money for my swap kit yet :(

[Dogsofjune]

Ill come up to lawrence and wax your ass when my sbc goes in. Better crank that blower waaaay up

Apples to oranges, if you want to go with an 8, then that's what I'll step up with as well.

Wouldn't want you cryin' about being beat by a 6.
Lol!

[T Man]

I think a blow 6 verus a n/a 8 is fair.

[Joker2040]

I used to race... A guy helped me with a couple mods and the truck hasn't saw the track since.

[Majormotion53]

Say did you mean G&Gs that race thier trucks? I do race mine! Say if thier was enough in our area we all could meet at Mo-Kan in the spring. And then kick some RICER BUTT!

[Maximus]

All the tracks around here are closed for the season.It's the off season when everyone starts building or rebuilding for spring.I am hoping I will have my 350 in and running great by spring.

[Dogsofjune]

I think a blow 6 verus a n/a 8 is fair.

Depends on tons of varaibles. I still haven't gotton all the potential out of my 6 yet, and even then I don't expect much. But we'll see.

I'd be happy to race for fun anytime. I look forward to see your v8 setup too. :D

[fastSdime]

LOL T Man I dunno if you wanna mess with Dan. Cuz I know he has a lot of plans for that 4.3 of his and its going to be bad ass when its done. And if you wanna race you can always come down here I got a full size chevy I'll run you with.. :firedevil

[T Man]

Ill see your fullsize chevy with a big block suburban. Wanna run em over xmas break? he he

[fastSdime]

Hey all I got is a lil small block thats built "just a lil bit"

And I'm actually lookin for some 350 heads if you know of any..

[baggedandcaddied]

hey racer guys i was wondering what kind of tires you use to get some good grip other than slicks cause i am tring to find a 255 60 15 drag radial but no one seems to make them

edit ok nevermind i found some on summits website

[T Man]

silly aaron

[fastSdime]

hell my full size has some 31X10.5 on it so they spin for a min.

[baggedandcaddied]

ya well i will not have a whole lot of low end torque but do plan on alot of top end power a small TT smallblock

[fastSdime]

Yea I got a 383 that needs to go in to my 96... And I have a caddy 500 that needs to go in the fullsize.. I will get around to it sooner or later.

[baggedandcaddied]

lol that caddy motor would be fun in the s10

[T Man]

Christmas break we'll get it done.

lol that caddy motor would be fun in the s10

When I first bought my S10 a kid i went to school with sold me a Caddy 527, or whatever the huge cubic inch motor was they had. I didnt know what to do with it, because I didnt know crap about motors, all I knew was that I wanted to do a SBC swap. Found out later it wouldnt have fit without moving the firewall back several inches.

[fastSdime]

It can be done.. there is a guy here in Manhattan that has a BBC in his S10 and the firewall is moved about 1-1.5"s but you can't tell at all that he really moved it.

[T Man]

Who is it? Whats the truck look like? Is it ever out at midwest dragstrip?

[fastSdime]

Its a teenage kid. I would prolly have to ask a couple of friends.. Its a white ext cab 1st gen. looks damn near bone stock other then a cowl hood and Iroc wheels and a blazer bumper and duals..

[T Man]

He in highschool still? Sorry to be so nosy, but im still pretty wired there in manhattan. I can find people.

[fastSdime]

Not sure if he is in HS but I know he is no older then 19...

[jimmya]

you don't have to move the firewall at all for a big block. I cut the firewall a little on my 95 just for room for the motor plate.

[SY2932]

Not a true "drag" truck, or even an "S10" for that matter but it gets driven less than 3K a year:

"On my way to 12.5 @ 106 in '04"

Have to get this installed over the winter since it has been on my shelf for almost two years now :(. Shooting for 11's on a stock engine that has never had the valve covers off...

"PTE "stealth" big shaft 70MM turbocharger, capable of supporting 700 HP. The "whistle" from this will end my "sleeper" days :(..."

[jimmya]

thats bad ass. Ive been building hot rod s10s for a long time, and have never got my hands on a cyclone or typhoon, but ive always wanted to. what size turbo is stock on these? how does the 4.3 differ internally from a regular 4.3?

[SY2932]

Thanks, the pic above was when I was still running my DOT steet tires. I still managed to cut 1.7 60' times even though they were over 5 years old. I have drag radials on all four now and touch 1.6's occasionally. Folks at the track always comment how violent it leaves the line especially after I drive around the water box. But that's nothing compared to what I experience on the street. It's pretty hard to hang with a vehicle that does 0-60 in four seconds if you're in a car that can't put the power to the ground.

Stock turbo is a Mitsubishi TD06-17C/8cm2 that flows 550 CFM through a Garrett water to air intercooler. Stock boost is 1 bar or 14.7 psi this nets 280 HP @ 4400 RPM and 350 ft/lbs @ 3600 RPM. I have an afermarket chip so that I can run up to 24 psi. However, the stock turbo is inefficient at that psi so, I limit my passes at the track to 20 pounds.

Sytys came with the "Z" VIN motor that has LB4 heads, not exactly the best at keeping detonation in check even with a 8.35:1 CR... Some folks bolt on the L35 heads as they are a direct bolt on. You can do Vortech but, is requires quite a bit of work. The only differences between a syty shortblock and a NA one are the head gaskets, hypereutectic pistons and modular iron caps. Everything else is standard NA stuff.

[jimmya]

thanks for the info. I'm thinking of making my own with a reg cab 4 wheel drive 93 s10. does the syclone have torsion bar front end? also how does the all wheel drive system differ from a 4 wd setup other than no low range?

[fastSdime]

Man I wish I had a damn Sy or Ty. They are just gorgeous.. Have anymore pics of your truck?

[SY2932]

Yup sytys have the HEAVY torsion bar setup. With regards to the differences between 4WD and AWD it is covered here (http://forums.s-series.org/viewtopic.php?t=30825&highlight=) (sorry for the dead links, they got hosed when the BB got restructured).

Thanks for the props, you can see my mods here (http://www.sytyarchives.com/database/viewuser.php?id=147) and my gallery here (http://www.centergc.org/images/misc/Mike/gallery/syclone2932).

[fastSdime]

Thanks man.. Sweet pics..

[Sparky2263]

Sy, you spool that up before you launch or you launching flatfooted?

[SY2932]

Nope brake engine torque the motor and leave the line with 5-7 psi on tap. One foot holding the brakes and the other on the gas. Some like to leave with 10 psi or more but my brakes won't hold much over 7 psi and I get lots of wheel spin to boot. No "turbo lag" for me.

I just remembred that my bud hosted a bunch of the vids from our Pittsburgh meet back in '04. You can see them here (http://www.syty.net/forums/showthread.php?t=20576) if you're interested...
