dont forget about the pink flames......that would have been rice a roni....
and at least yours looks different then the others.....

He doesnt have the capacity to change the fronts. he referred me to Baldwin Performance & they quoted me a max of around $700 to change the fronts to match the rear 372.
Can u guys do that work & can u quote me?
Thanks,

About drivetrain loss, here is some good info I have:
"There are two main causes of power loss in transmissions.
1: The nice simple textbook loss due to sliding contact of the gears. Taken to be constant with speed, typically about 2% of power for spur gears and 3% for hypoid bevel.
2: The complex loss (never found in textbooks) due to oil fling and windage. As the gear starts to rotate it picks up oil, has a large wetted area and the loss follows a normal V^3 drag power law. As it picks up speed it tends to fling the oil and carve a groove in the oil bath reducing drag by entraining air. As it flings oil the oil depth reduces, again reducing drag. It moves to a loss approx proportional to speed regime. I don't know what happens at very high speed when the oil level has been reduced as low as it can go or a larger gear on the same shaft is still flinging oil and a smaller gear runs clear of the oil bath. Auto boxes main loss is due to pumping loss in the oil pump and hydraulic system as the gears are not dipped in oil.
Increased temperature will reduce viscosity and reduce drag.
My LSD diff has an oil cooler, not for the benefit of the gears but to maintain the oil at the working temperature of the Viscous LS unit. It has a warning light to tell me when it is possibly an open diff.
Transmission loss is a black art known only in the makers dyno house and consultants like Ricardo or SwRI, there is very little published information. Lots of people quote some % figure for loss but don't say what the power or speed was so the figure quoted is useless. Even assuming it's for peak power and speed doesn't tell you what it will be at normal cruise. In lots of engineering texts I have only ever found one graph of transmission loss against speed, it was in a book on dynometer testing of engines, 1936 reprinted in 1969!"
and
"Losses in hookes joints and cv joints tend to be small, and pretty much proportional to power.
Losses in gearboxes tend to be rather larger, and tend to be worse in percentage terms at both extremes of the power range.
Losses in diffs can be quite spectacularly large (10%), and again tend to be least at mid load."

Choodle: I will get 100 people on here to tell you STRAIGHT UP DOWN LEFT AND RIGHT that your truck will not go that fast stock, or with the mods you have done to it. I dont care if its a rolling chassis running on drag slicks, it wont do it, and it DOES NOT have 195 stock horsepower.
I will THEN proceed to get 5000 TRUE mini truckers on here to LAUGH at your rice ASS for turning an AMERICAN truck into a RICE bucket with your damn Enkei wheels and god only knows what else. Unless you are planning on bagging it, throwing some Boyds on there and maybe a chrome bumper up front, then please just STFU. If your planning on some awesome Xenon $900 body kit and all kinds of funky lights and shit, ill be the first to pull up and LAUGH your ass up and down, followed by several other S10 owners around here who will do the same thing.
BTW, I have a friend at Tech that owns a VERY low 94 s10 I believe it is, magnaflow exhaust i believe, e-fan, a few other little engine mods here and there, and he is STILL in the 16s somewhere. I mean I have driven in it before, and it has alot more getup and go than mine does right now, but it is definately not a speed demon, and I dont believe he intends it to be. So you go ahead and rice out your little truck and see how many true mini truckers give you one glance without a smirk on their face or a full out laugh and point as you drive by.
