Bagged Bodied and Track Ready? Best of both worlds.
-I have a 70 C10 that is bagged and I am a real performance guy. I am building an LS swap and should make about 650hp on motor. I am really torn and wanted to ask some suggestions. I love the look of bodied trucks, but I also want to get the power to the ground and track. I would like in the long run to run nitrous on the motor and get street slicks to put down good runs.
-Is there a good way to have the best of both worlds? Can I body the truck and keep it bagged, but spruce up the frame and other suspension components to run at the dragstrip? I would like to have a ten second truck, and also body it with different wheels for weekend shows. Any thoughts? Thanks All. |

Re: Bagged Bodied and Track Ready? Best of both worlds.
I am sorry, I have nothing to contribute in answering your questions. And I have no desire to hi-jack your thread.
BUT, I need to know the specs on your wheels and those whitewall tires. I love the look and stance of your truck.  Thanks much! -Ed |

Re: Bagged Bodied and Track Ready? Best of both worlds.
650 hp on motor, eh? Flywheel hp or rear wheel hp? What are you building?

I've got a buddy right now building an ERL 454" sleeved motor for his C6Z. He bought Tony Mamo's personal heads and intake from the Vader motor (google it). Mine isn't any of that high dollar stuff, just a junkyard LQ4  Had it at the dyno this spring to baseline it. It put down 541 to the wheels on 9 lbs of boost (gate pressure) on 93 octane and 14 degrees of timing. That's somewhere around 625-650 flywheel hp depending on drivetrain losses. Planning to turn it up soon and switch back to corn. Shooting for 750ish at the tire. Regardless, I'm subcribed to this to follow the progress. Rock on.

Re: Bagged Bodied and Track Ready? Best of both worlds.
I don't have anything to contribute but interested in the responses so I'm going to follow along. I too am building a bagged/LS truck but doubt it'll be a ten second ride. Be cool if it did though.
