New look for the S10

LSx S10 · Jul 3, 2011

What's up guys. I picked up some new wheels and tires for my s10 yesterday. They wouldn't be my first choice, but I got a killer deal on them. I think they look way better than the C5 wagon wheels I used to have, and these ride a lot nicer too.

SALAD SHOOTERS!

Don't look to bad on there. I forgot about your PM. Where's the build thread?

LSx S10 · Jul 3, 2011

All my parts are in a friends garage. Once I get everything moved over to the shop I'm doing the swap in, I'll take some pics and get one going.

Those look awesome on the truck!

Smokinhot · Jul 4, 2011

what engine choice are you going with?

ChrisRac · Jul 4, 2011

Those look pretty decent on there.

4.8/4l60e. Its going to be pretty mild, running a stock ls1 cam, ls1 intake, f-body manifolds, and a speed inc tune. Should rip pretty good.

I almost bought your 4.8, but I found this 07 4.8 w/ 110k miles for $200 right down the street from me. I may still buy yours if this one ends up being junk lol.

This thing should move out pretty good. I shoulda gone LSX!

sweet, well lmk. No one seems to be interested in it and I really need to move it :tear:

That setup should do great in that thing, the 4.8 moved my truck out well in my truck but will do even better in yours. Also put in 3.73 gears, they'll do great in there

Yea didn't it put your truck in the low 15's with minimal mods? I think with the bigger Ls1 cam and a truck that weighs 2000# less, I should be deep 14's maybe even high 13's.

I swapped a 3.73 into last summer :smile:

With just headers, ORY, a drop-in magnaflow muffler, and a tune I did 15.86 @ 86mph but I'm 5100#'s too.

look into it, but an LS6 cam may work well too. I know they do well in 5.3's, and you'll gain huge in the top end

01 LS6, 385hp cam 204/211 .525/.525 116 lsa
02-04 LS6, 405hp cam 204/218 .555/.551 117.5 lsa

98-00 f-body cam 198/209 .500/.500 119.5 lsa
01-02 f-body cam 196/207 .467/.479 116 lsa

00-04 4.8 cam 191/190 .457/.466 114 lsa

01-04 LQ4/9 cam 196/207 .467/.479 116 lsa

the corvette's cam's had a slightly higher duration

just food for thought

I also have a BRAND NEW LQ4 cam if you have a used one or are sticking with that cam choice. The earlier model f-bodies had the bigger cam though.

just curious, which one do you have?

LSx S10 · Jul 4, 2011

The cam I have is from a really low mileage 02 fbody. Came with yellow ls6 valve springs. Pretty much paid for the springs and got the cam for free. I already have the base tune for this cam so for now I'm just gonna run it. Down the road ill get something bigger.

Smokinhot · Jul 4, 2011

cool, sounds like a plan

99PONTIACGP · Jul 4, 2011

Looks pretty good. I like it.

Wow I just reread this, my cam sucks! Not even worth taking the time to install it. I am gonna look for something different. Thanks for the info

Bob Kazamakis · Jul 5, 2011

It's probably worth saving up a few hundred dollars for a proper cam.

When are you going to start tearing it down tondo?

Smokinhot · Jul 5, 2011

I agree with joel, only bc it could be a pain to do later on IMO. I don't know how much room you'll have to play with when its in.

LSx S10 · Jul 5, 2011

02+ LS6 cam is in the mail. Found it on ls1tech for a good price.

Gav'sPurpleZ · Jul 5, 2011

thats a clean truck, looks good

Right now I am shooting for next friday to start. Working on it non stop until its done.

Chrisco · Jul 5, 2011

The new wheels look pretty nice, but... did you get a set of 4 right side wheels?

Smokinhot · Jul 5, 2011

I don't believe the salad shooters came in different directions

Np tony, I don't think you'd of been happy with a stock cam

I mean it would've still ran good but the ls6 will give it more life. The info came from an lsx performance book I bought a while back

Smokinhot · Jul 5, 2011

hey, another bit of info for your build. Look into a Trailblazer torque converter, the ones w/the Inline 5 I believe. It stalls slightly higher than stock while maintaining stock drivability.

sorry, I've done a lot of research into swaps over the past years

lol
