Port Charlotte, The track pics are Immokalee.

400 smallblock (Motown Block)
Eagle rotating assembly, 13.5 compression
AFR 220's prepped by Felber
.701/ .708 lift sr 275/288 dur @ .050
Stahl 2" headers
1050 Prosystems carb
Wilson 2 stage plat good for 700hp( never tried all of it).

I worked with a few others and help start the Real Street class that runs at IRR, and Sunshine. Truck runs well for what's done to it. But I'm finding it a little hard on the 275 radials. 315's were good for 1.27 60's, 275's best was a 1.34 most of the time I'm fighting traction!

[Diabolical]

I think I can help you with the traction issue.. :)
I am finishing up the last 3 orders for Daggers..
When I am done I have another version I am going to turn loose..

Anyone with an older set will be able to upgrade (If needed)
The new set is a little more streamlined ..
I am constantly working on making these better and better..

I have some guys running in the 1000hp and up range telling me they have
never hooked so well..(This is stock suspension)
They were already running caltracs or Slide-a-links..

Maybe we will get a chance to hook up..
Immokalee is about an hour or so from me ;)

Mike

[Randy 406]

Maybe just what I need. The longbed gives me a horrible weight bias. The guys at TRZ hooked me up with new front suspension parts, hopefully that will help. I'm running the split monos and caltracs now. Pretty sure one of biggest problems is the TH400, 'glide coming soon.

[Diabolical]

I am in the process of building 2 long beds..

#1 a big tire BB truck motor moved back 14 inches....(way out of control)

#2 The other is a sb powered longbed.. I will have the new daggers on this truck..
I think I have the IC down now for the S10..
Testing with a 4.3 had the front end lifting..lol

Ill post some pics soon..

Mike

btw.. Looks like TRZ is helping out quite a few S10 guys..
Onehookingsuv (Bobby) is getting the parts from them too..

[Randy 406]

I know Bobby, real nice guy, as are Todd and Mike at TRZ.

Have you ever looked into the Real Street class? It will be running at PBIR on the 11th. I'll be there helping a buddy with his Stock Suspension Malibu.

[Diabolical]

That is a class I am planning to run :)
I should be there for the event (as a spectator)
I think I can talk Dan into coming too..
Hell, Maybe even Bobby.

I'll get your info and we can hook up.
PBIR is a little over an hour from me.. maybe an hour and a half..

Mike

[Randy 406]

Cool, I'm interested in your bars. In the 17 years I've had my truck it's seen slapper bars, southside bars, slide-a-links, and caltracs.

[Diabolical]

This is my buddy Everett "434smallblock"
He is running my bars

That was a 175 shot right off the brake, and 125 more at .4, on 315's. First time it ever went up on me like that.

[Diabolical]

Nice job.. A little spark'n as well ;)

You sir, are a valued member!

[Randy 406]

Just doin' what I can ;)

[Randy 406]

Here's a luanch that's a little more controlled. But you'll notice the only one shift on the 3 speed tranny. Gotta love the B&M pro stick, barely touch the trigger, and it will go right past 2nd.

[Randy 406]

That was just a 175 shot off the brake. Truck hooked good when I had a decent sized tire!

[az03sonoma]
