O.K. you guys, i have a very difficult decision to make and was hoping that som,eone out there could help me out with it. I have a 1991 S-10 Tahoe Edition, short bed, standard cab w/ a 2.8 TBI engine that has 190,000 miles on it. So since it is running on its last leg i am going to need to swap another engine in soon.
My problem is what engine do i want to swap in place of the old clunker.
I still want about 20 - 25 miles per gallon but, at the same time i want to be able to beet ricers off the line at stop lights. Now i know this is hard to do so i have narrowed down my options.
1st option:
3.4L TBI racing setup (cam, pistons, heads, TBI spacer, headers, etc.), with or without supercharger and 100 shot of nitrous. - around 352 hp with nitrous on and decent gas mileage. $
2nd option:
4.3L fuel injection racing setup with or without supercharger and 100 shot of nitrous. - around 380 hp with nitrous on but bad gas mileage. $$
3rd option:
Small block (305 - 350) aspirated racing setup with 100 shot of nitrous and no supercharger. - around 400 hp with nitrous on but terrible gas mileage. $$$$
I am really leaning towards my first option but if anyone has any better options please let me know but nothing that iam going to have to donate my left nut to buy.
thanks:bash:
