Talk about a sleeper. It must be hard to hook up with so little weight in the back though?

it will be. but intended use is just street driven. full A/C and heat. nice sound system, and so on. the stock TPI will be the power robber. but should do about 380 at the crank and close to 500lbs/tq so it will be a torque monster. planning on doing a set of ZR1 vette wheels. 17x9.5 front and 17x11 rear with 275/40s and 315/35s

these are nice, my brother-in-law has a s-10 that he put an LT-1 and six speed into. It's down for new cab mounts at the moment.
