You should be close to 250-300rwhp with just a stock turned up truck. Do a google search for Project Rust Bucket to see my upgrade path. And again, welcome!
I am going to agree do what this guy^^^ says he seems to know his stuff since he has the highest rated VE pumped 1st gen.

Thanks for all the support guys. I'm going to be busy for a little while . My window fell into my door,I've got a hole in the floor, trans pan gasket, and 5 studs to replace. Then I can get guages and go from there. Super excited.

Sounds like a good plan. These trucks are super easy to make 300rwhp, and they're light, so they'll outrun most things. Let me know if you need any help.

Exactly. I've raced a couple LMM duramax's with this 93. One was off the line, he did a boosted launch n I still got him on the top end of 2nd n kept pulling on him. Another he tried to keep me from passing him but I grabbed another gear n put the go pedal down n trucked by.

My old 90 only have exhaust, modded air box, e-fan n modded pump with stock rotated fuel pin n I had a hard time keeping tires on it with my heavy right foot.
