Not a lot out there for hopping up the truck V10. Better off with a big block.

You could make those HP numbers easily with a pretty mild 5.9/360 engine and save a ton of weight over the V-10. In addition, parts availability for the V-10 is pretty much non-existent.

This.

There is an EXTREMELY limited selection of cams for the 10.... and there are NO other intake manifolds available. You get the factory intake, or something custom made..... The stock intake is designed for use in a truck, it is not going to lend itself to use in a dragster, not to mention Redline is what? 4500 RPM???? Nope. You are trying to use the wrong motor.....

I would've started with a 96+ v10 so it'stune able. Then if its going in a drag car throw a turbo on it and build a sheet metal upper intake to direct the air straight down into the lower intake.
