Newbie set over from v8s10.org!

Hey guys im Matt. Im from grove city OH but i race at many ohio tracks.
I will be racing at norwalk a few times and thompson for the 8.90s races they are having for the asphalt wars.
I have a 82 s10 long bed. So far the best time is a 9.19 at 147 on 9lbs. im upping the boost and fixing the fuel system. a1000 was going lean on e85.
so im going with a waterman belt drive and a magnafuel pump. 7gpm. hope its enough
its a blow through carb. 357" motor. stock gm block with splayed caps. Im also building a Dart little m based 400" motor that i plan on upping the boost with.
I shift at 7000. so hopefully more boost will get me to a 8.50 then i can back it up for my 8.90s. oh yea im adding in a liquid to air intercooler. didnt have
a intercooler before. hopefully ill get a glide done for it. or a brake that i can leve in 2nd i think it will help drive it out and load the turbo better.
Here are some pics for those that are into that!

Welcome Matt, that truck is sweet! And fast 9.19 with a little 357 engine on E85 ya got to love it....

Welcome Matt now all you need is some mail in the back cause that thing is sure carrying the mail LOL

Im hoping with all the changes i can still keep shifting at and below 7000. if so it should live a long time. the 357 is going in my dr camaro and the new 400 in the s10
