whenever is best for people. i am here all the time. i'm guessing oct works for 96. not sure how many people there will be. looks like there is a whole 4 of us on here with them. got any friends with s-10's would be cool. oct works for me so i can get some more work done to my truck. 96 do u still have/wanna get rid of your hypertech? i want one and ebay has not had any lately.

I didn't notice this till now... I've got an S-10 too... And so does my roommate but mine's a stock 2wd '98 and his is a total POS 4x4 '89 so idk if either would be worth lookin at... lol... but if I pick up this other '98 I'm lookin at as a toy... well then it'd be worth it, right?? lol

I'd look for a 96-98. As they were the prime year. None of that silly built in air injection like the newers have. Also it used to be you could only tune the pcm's of 01+ w/ ls1 edit. But not the 96-00 guys can too!! With tuner cats!

I'd look for a 4.3L 5spd Reg cab! Preferably a ZQ8 also! Be sure to look for the 8.5" rear end when getting a 4.3L also. The 7.5 is a POS, theres a few v8 guys running 10's on the 8.5" 10bolt! :wooo

Actually, I was lookin at the '98 with the 2.2L (like my other '98) becasue it's a short cab stepside... Wouldn't that be a good canidate for a 355 & 5-Speed Swap... :) :thumbsup :thumbsup Yeah I have some mental issues... but I've always wanted to put a big motor in a little truck... It'll be fun :goof :goof Plus I did quite a bit of research when I had my '94 S-10, but that thing was a little too screwed up to modify... I didn't feel like doing that much body work... Hopefully this kid will wanna ditch that '98 b/c of the transmission... :banana

S10 swaps must be FI (not TBI)! LT1, LS1, TPI, etc... carbs/tbi = fruity on an s10! Especialy 2nd gens! :D

I'm still tryin to figure out if I'd go carb'd or with an LS1... I'm thinkin the carb'd set-up would be a bit less expensive... :thumbsup Plus it's not like it'd be a daily driver or anything like that... I've already got a daily driver...

i bought my truck used so i had no choice couldn't pass it up. i have the 7.5 and have not had any problems. as with anything with vehicles it's all about personal experience. when my engine decides to take a **** i just plan on swapping in 350 vortec....ls1 would be nice but 350 vortec would be just fine. complete though computer everything so it will run just like it never was swapped.

Dont get a catback system bro! They are way overpriced, and you can get a custom system made for much cheaper with better results.

BTW I'd go with a 3" system from the cat back with a spintech prostreet followed by a turn down before the axle. Def get that y-pipe, think my SLP one was 2.25"?

tell me where to get a custom one....every shop i have called has told me i am nuts or no they won't do it. the kit was only 250. i know slp discontinued them for awhile then read they are bringing them back so i will have to check on it. i believe though they are 2.5 in. stock should be 2.25

I dont think so. It's hard for me to explain but when I held the slp to the stock there was a HUGE difference. Especialy where the ypipe meets the manifold.

I'm not sure were to get one but I guess 250 is a good price. Try posting in the general forum, there's a midas somewhere that has a guy that does good work!

already went there and he said no way.....the flowmaster didn't fit right today so i just went with no muffler and the turndown.....sounds good.....did slp start remaking the 4.3 y-pipe? i know they discontinued it for awhile and saw on there site they were thinking about bringing it back becuz of the high demand for it

I'm not sure, stay tuned on the s10 forums to see. I know there's been alot of people calling SLP and asking. Guess SLPs been telling them due to demand they're going to start making them again!

I used to have a 93 2.3L 5speed. Was gonna do a turbo thunderbird swap, but got the s10 for a good price.

You should get a turbo kit for the S10! Or one of those Wynjammer s/c's!
