Over the weekend I visited a friend who had just got a new Silverado with the 4 banger. He wanted to check out my truck to compare because he was thinking of lowering his like I did mine with a 3/5 drop. Or just dropping his rear end, and going level that way.

We took a ride in it, and it was very nice on power. Especially with the 8 speed auto. He was going to get a 4.3 V6 like I got, but the deal was alot better on the 4 banger. Especially when you factor in the package he wanted.

So eventually they will have tunes for these, and stand alone harnesses. How do you think a tuned one will do in a C10 rcsb. To me it seems like it would be very nice runner. With a tune you should have 350 rough hp, and 400 lbft of torque. Quite possibly more, but I am being conservative. Combined with a 8 speed to always be in the right gear. The only downside would be lack of factory power steering pump if your not after big hp/tq. Plus it should get amazing mpg bouncing around town or on the highway.
