I saw Lavon had the body on his new (pro stock?) truck. Looks to be a S10 body as well.

Lavon said the prostock S10 is a customers, Firepunk is just the ones putting it together. Now I can't remember if he said midget or hobbit will be driving it? Regardless, I imagine it's going to be nasty!

Time lately has been my huge factor as I am working on a new building for my shop to move to. At the end of the day all I want to do is head home. A fire needs to get lit under my ass

I can't believe I am saying this, but lock up is asking for headaches.....small turbos and low stall

Not necessarily. The price tag on a lockup combo is huge, but the benefits are great. I know if I started without lockup I wouldn't be happy in the long run. Power level compared to gas, no you wouldn't need it. but with those converters in a diesel, the torque curve is so low, fast, violent, rpm range so short, it is tough to keep a converter super efficient. with no overdrive, gearing is already at its limits. if we had more rpm than a bb blower style converter would work great, but we don't. so getting the correct stall setup is tough without sacrificing. I think everyone looking at the level I want to be at has been down this road already as well
