the 4BT can get plenty of power, much more than the 200 you've stated. it just takes alot more money and time.

i would say your coils would be fine but i would upgrade to some stiffer shocks if not coil overs.

also you will want to set the engine back as far as possible to distribute the weight.

I've done a little research and not many 4bt's peg more then 200hp. http://www.4btswaps.com/forum/showthread.php?t=757


Can anyone tell me for sure, Are the C10 and C20 frames different????

What I'm trying to do is keep my truck as a daily-driver while still getting 20+ mpg and still being fast!!!!
