The Kid and Tommy Two Guns – S10 Siblings Take to the Drag Strip

July 8th, 2020

It has been said that blood runs deeper than water. Nowhere is that more apparent than in this drag racing family. With Dad pulling the strings and the boys wrenching and riding, this pair of competitors seem destined for greatness. Let’s head out for a hot summer night at the Marion County International Raceway and see how this shakes out.These brothers are both running Chevy small block-based engine packages. The Kid is getting help from forced air induction via a turbocharger. Tommy has two kits of nitrous lending him a hand. Both these builds are fresh, but the Kid has Read More

Grabber Blue Fox Body – Small Tire Domination

December 14th, 2018

It’s drag racing time in the land of Bounty Hunter’s No Prep Grudge Nationals II and some really nasty gunslingers have trailered in with intentions of taking home the $25K cash prize. Flacco is in town (San Antonio Raceway) with his twin turbo Cornfed Chevy S10 pickup and he has dollar signs (in his eyes) where his pupils used to be. Despite Flacco’s presence, the feature for this clip is a Grabber Blue Fox Body Mustang. This car is tearing up the track in Small Tire No Prep and we wanted to get a look under the hood. We were Read More

King of NO PREP – Chevy S10

December 15th, 2017

Greetings drag racing enthusiasts! Allow me to introduce the King of NO PREP racing, Larry Larson and his beast of a compact pickup truck. Larry has attacked the grueling affair known as Rocky Mountain Race Week on eleven separate occasions and has never failed to complete what is possibly the most challenging test of endurance (for man and machine) in racing. Rocky Mountain Race Week consists of five days of NO PREP drag racing at four separate drag strips. It begins in Kearney, Nebraska then moves to Denver, Colorado. From Denver to Pueblo, Colorado. From Pueblo it’s over to Great Read More

2JZ Powered S10 Pickup Runs Sixes

April 10th, 2017

At Lights Out 8, down in South Georgia, there was certainly no shortage of S10 pickups . S10 pickup carcasses are everywhere, so it’s relatively easy to pick up a pickup and throw in an LS small block or even a big block and put down a pretty decent pass on the street or strip. Well, the owner of the truck featured in this video chose a slightly different path. Maybe there were no LS engines available in his neck of the woods, perhaps he is a V8-hater, or peradventure that he was going for a lightweight theme – I Read More

1800HP Twin Turbo Chevy S10

January 14th, 2017

Hello race fans – here’s the skinny – Flacco has got one fast Chevrolet S10 pickup. Get it? Because Flacco translates to skinny in English? No? Oh well, let’s talk No Prep. No Prep racing runs just as it sounds. There is no acetone or other chemicals that are sometimes used to clean excessive rubber from the track. Instead, these racers line up and attack the pavement in whatever state they find it. No Prep racing is as close to genuine street racing as anything that you will experience at a drag strip. Flacco’s S10 is well equipped with an Read More

Street Stampede – Chevy S10 vs Toyota Supra

October 13th, 2016

What do a mid-size Chevy SUV and a compact Toyota sports coupe have in common? Not much unless you’re talking about the massive amount of forced air induction found under the hoods of these two street brawlers. The Supra is a 1995 model with a Real Street built 3.0-liter engine (Manley parts). It has a Hypertune Racing intake manifold with a 90-millimeter throttle body, 2200cc Siemens injectors, and a PHR Triple Walbro fuel pump setup. A Precision GT 42 7675 turbocharger force feeds the engine copious amounts of air and everything is controlled using an AEM V2 controller. A PHR Read More

Turbo S10 Pickup Spanks Muscle Cars

May 6th, 2016

The odds of a square-body Chevy S10 Cyclone pickup truck taking on an array of muscle cars in the standing half-mile – and winning – are pretty slim. Then again, most S10 trucks aren’t as well equipped for the task as this one. This is a family project crafted with pride by a father and his two-sons. The best weekend run for this truck was an impressive 159.4 mph. This sub-compact pickup is packing a 408-cubic-inch LS engine with a Callie’s crankshaft and stroker kit, stock cylinder heads, a camshaft upgrade, a Turbonetics 101-millimeter compressor/91-millimeter turbine, a massive 4L80E automatic Read More

Twin Turbo S10 Blazer Runs 8.4 @ 160 MPH

January 22nd, 2016

What can you do with a snail of a 1984 Chevrolet S10 Blazer? You can start by snatching out the V6 and cramming the engine bay full of a massive 6.0-liter (LS) engine with a 408-cubic-inch stroker kit and a set of Pro-Filer cylinder heads. Add insult to injury by bolting on a pair of Borg Warner 366 turbochargers then drive to Rocky Mountain Drag Week 2015. This guy shows up looking to set a new personal record in the quarter-mile. He does just that on day four in Denver, Colorado with an 8.44 @ 160.58 mph. This is a Read More

Taking it to the Streets – Turbocharged Spool Bus

September 8th, 2015

  Is it the Spool Bus or short bus? This thing has a school bus safety stop sign hanging from the driver’s door – to each his own, as “they” say. They also say, “It ain’t how you look, it’s what you got under the hood.” Under the hood of this brightly colored S10 Blazer is a fully built 5.7-liter LT1 (bored .030 over to 355-cubic-inches), high-performance cylinder heads, camshaft, and intake manifold, exhaust headers, and a massive 80mm turbocharger. It’s all bolted to a 4L80E transmission (from 3/4-ton truck). The SUV is estimated at 700hp. This mean fire-breathing machine Read More

Baddest Pickups on the Planet: HPT Shootout 2015

July 2nd, 2015

Can you imagine turning out a 6.5-second quarter mile at 229 mph in a farm truck? What about busting 100 mph in the eighth mile with your camper shell door opening and slamming all the way? Well, that is just what this rowdy bunch of speed junkies live for. They are gathered here, at the Royal Purple Raceway in Houston, Texas, to prove that they have the baddest pickup trucks on the planet. It is Ford against Chevrolet, old against new, and full-size against compact, as these skilled race teams put it all n the line and let it all Read More
