As the title states . . .I'm a newbie here. I've been browsing for a couple months and now as time is ticking away, I decided to join the forum.

Enough of the story. . .

I'm planning to build a nice LSx powered truck. A little show, LOTTA GO, and still all truck.

Since I autoX and track my car, I would need this do all vehicle to tow about 4000 lbs worth of race stuff to and from race tracks.

So who's gonna help me plan the build ?

Here's what I have in mind so far:

Phase 1
90-95 Regular Cab Shortbed
LSx
6speed

Phase 2
Lowered Suspension

Phase 3
4.10 posi
20" wheels
Baer Brake kit (with rear disc converison)

Phase 4
Motor Goodies

Goals:
450hp
Daily Driver
Lowered (nice ride,aspirations of canyon carver like abilities (not slammed))
Reliability
Gas mileage (WHO CARES!!! )
RPM Limit 7G (Is this too much?)

As far as gauges, I always wanted to do a custom AutoMeter Setup.

The plan has a budget of $10K.

Does this sound like a neat build up or what

So what do you guys think? Am I ?
