Light Truck Comparo

[CBFryman]

I tried this in the car comparison board and didnt get much of a responce...so im trying it in the light truck board...im looking for a light truck extended cab, 4cyl (for insurance purposes), and i dont want to make it super fast but...well here is a list of what im planing to do whenever i buy it...byt hte way im looking at used not new...

-ram intake sealed off to a cusom hood (planning on getting a salvage hood and molding a fiberglass scoop into it)
-headers
-exaust
-larger throttlebody
-port intake manifold, port and polish exaust manifold
-fule pump
-fule rail
-fule regulator
-new injectors
-one of the ECU retuners (not sure which one..got any suggestions)
-lighter wheel/tire package with stikyer rubber but keeping a near stock overall diameter
-roll pan with vent cut into them to let traped air under the truck escape and a hole custom fitted for a trailer hitch
-trailer hitch
-a lighter better looking mesh grille
-custom bumper with holes molded in for fog lights
-lower 2-4" properly...blocks in the back but with new gas shocks, anti sway bar, new springs in the front with new gas shocks, front tower brace.
-2 DD2500 12's
-Pheonix gold and Hiphonics amps
-crystal audio componets
-lightly tinted windows
-custom center concil with the shifter moved closer to the driver so a super short shiftter can be used with linkage to the tranny
-eventually bucket seats with 4 point harness's
-tag frenched into the tailgate
-toneu cover

this will be an every day driver that once a week will have to haul a 19' boat to the lake...thats why i only went for a 2''-4'' drop...i know all of these light trucks can handle my boat because my moms '04 nissan frontier towed it and the suspension had no problems...it was the weak motor that was having problems with acceleration....anyways i think even with the S-10's 4cyl with the mods listed above will give me 210-250hp which wont have any problems towing the boat since our trailblazers motor only has 275 and it has no problem towing the boat....

i looking to get a s10 but 200hp out of a 4cyl ??? how much hp can you get out of a v6???

[lilreddak]

only 200? well it is a 4 bang. My 5.2L v8 in my dakota has 230hp stock and is now around 330 with misc. mods.

200 hp out of a 4cyl is alot in my opinion
