Makes sense, CNC. Thanks. It seems like these engines (and I guess most others) are affected by the law of diminishing return. The more you spend, the less power you get per $. I really want to keep the 6 because it is original to the truck, and not a lot of people would do it. I think I need to take the engine in the truck and do a mild build, so I can use it as a cruiser, and find an old nova or camaro (pretty easy around here) and build the other motor to shred the strip with. As far as the truck engine goes, money isn't much of a factor, but I don't want to spend an extra $8000 dollars to get 100 hp. What is possible with a mildly built engine (intake, headers, cam, bored, and head work) that will still run on pump gas? Racing fuel is hard to find out here I live, plus I want to be able to fill up wherever I am instead of having to make a research projct out of where to get gas.
Thanks,
Matt
