No, your S-10 would suck too if it had 40'' tires on it and a stupid amount of compensating lift.

No, but I love the little S-10. Gets 23 mpg and has never let me down. Some day I'd love to swap a 5.3 Vortec V8 in it.

Believe me, these things are slow. Put a Quad 4 throttle body, a cheap air intake with a big AEM filter, a different muffler, and a Corvette tranny servo and they can go a little better than stock. But you already have the advantage of the 5-speed. Automatics suck.

Or you could just be smart and do a junk yard 350 change over?
