New owner (finally) This makes up for the ugly 4 cyl coupe I drove in HS.No money for mod's yet, want to keep it stock outside and fun under the hood. Seems to be 4.10 gears are the consensus for the first mod I should do. Will have a shop do the work (nervous wife only lets me take apart the 55 chevy truck). Pics to follow soon |

Congrats man!!!
First mod in my opinion should be a cai(JLT is my preference) and Tuner(SCT) from Bamachips.

GT>beat up old ass S10 for sure. Nice upgrade.
Intake and exhaust are two relatively inexpensive mods that you can do yourself without screwing anything up. Many companies sell a 'canned' tune for running on 93 octane that can make a BIG difference and again that is a mod you can do yourself. 4.10's would also be a great mod. Probably the best results for the money invested.

Congrats. That is great! I wouldn't do 4.10s on the auto though. 3.73s would be best. I have 3.90s in mine. I like them a lot except for all the whining (sounds like my girlfriend)
I am a sponsored vendor, when you are ready to get parts, just let me know. i give great deals to MM members

Congrats on the new ride and welcome to MM
Another +1 to the CAI and tune. I like the C&L racer intake personally.
