I bought my S-10 because my '88 C1500 was getting a little ragged around the gills, and I didn't have the time to mess with fixing it. The very first thing I did to the S-10 was to lay it down on 18s and run the wheels off of it. I drove it to Austin, Texas with a brick on the gas pedal, and the computer did the rest by keeping me pegged at 93MPH. In 2003 I quit my job as the editor of Tailgate magazine, and parked the S-10 with a little over 50,000 miles on it. About a month ago I was going to sell the S-10, but decided it was worth more to me than the bucks I would get from selling it. This truck has always handled real good, but this time around I've decided to tweak it as far as I can to squeeze out more mileage, and handling. The battery weighs around 40-lbs and it sits right on the nose. Performance Distributors sells a high-performance battery that weighs 16lbs. I'm going to start with one of PD's batterys, and try their hot igniton kit for the 2.2 and see what I get. When I have an update I'll get back on here and let you guys know the results.
