What are YOUR goals?

[Soul Rebel]

Since we finally have a decent amount of people here in the gen 1 forum, I was just curious, what is everyone's goals for their L. Personally, I'm aiming for a street legal (daily-driven if need be) low 13 sec truck (here in Hawaii it's far from easy). I want to be able to show people down here that our trucks can run with the gen 2's. As far as future mods, basically flex-a-lite 295's, eaton rear, 5.0 roller cam conversion, (already have the actual cam, but nothing else) djm/belltech 3/4 drop, traction bars, afr 185's, FTVB (maybe a convertor also) twEEcer, and last but not least, Vortech S-trim. These mods will hopefully all be attained and put on before 2007. I honestly don't know if all of this will get me where I want to be, but hopefully it'll do the job. :rockon:

4.Get a driveshaft loop
5.Eaton rear and get a diff cover
6.Rollpan/paint job
7.3200-3600 stall 10 inch converter

Matt, I know this is a stupid question, but I see a lot of guys doing the driveshaft loop, just wondering for what reason? Also, I don't know if you know this or not, but we just had an Alaska vs. Hawaii at our track this weekend.

 

[Matt95L]

Drive shaft loop is a safety precaution it stops the driveshaft from flying out of there and hitting someone/something or causing damage under the bed if it breaks.

I did hear that the shootout was coming up,but noone's reported how they did yet on our local forum.

Right now they are nothing but dreams, but Id like a 13 sec truck, maybe even 12(if thats posible keeping it drivable).

Vortech Supercharger
Right now im trying to get new mufflers but eventually a full bassani or pickeral exuast system
Cam
Nitrous
Before the supercharger I need to advance the timing
traction bars
eaton rear





Heck pretty much the same as Soul Rebel.

Yup, I'm pretty much doing the tried and true method, since this is my first "hotrod" and I really don't want to run into unexpected problems (although we all know that can happen with anything). But I've really been thinking about doing something different as far as the blower goes. Seems like everyone is running the S-trim nowdays, not that there's anything wrong with that, just that I'm the type who likes to be a little different. :-D Matt, do you know if the driveshaft loop will work with trucks that are lowered? I'm thinking the 1/2" drop will be okay, but I'm not too sure about a 3/4" (which is actually what I'm thinking of doing later). I just did a good bit of searching over on the nloc and it makes a lot of sense to do this mod. Thanks-Josh
