Here we are, january, cold outside, so my mind is racing with boat ideas..... What if i do the following....
4.3l 262 ci V6 190hp stock
-Vortec heads
-Roller Rockers
-under drive pulleys (1 lb on crank is = 2.7+hp)
-Corsa Thru Hull ehxaust, mounted below idle waterline to meet ohio noise restrictions
-New rings, somewhere between 1300-1500hrs on motor, i dont even want to think of a leak down test....
-Flame thrower coil
-8.5mm plug wires (necessary if i mod or not, the wires on it now are all crackly white)
-NGK plugs
-PowerDyne Supercharger, for S-10 fi with same 4.3 motor, 7psi boost
-EFI from totaled S10 in a junkyard
-2 core intercooler, air to water
-cam to match the setup
-I dont think this Alpha will hold up to that, so a used alpha SS or bravo 1, 1.5gr
-labbed and maybe satin finished prop
Anyone have any type of guess what the hp will be? Anyone know the cheapest places to get some of these items?
Thanks
Tommy

Fi problem?
Going to the junk yard later today to find a FI system out of a 4.3 S-10, my question is, if i put it all in, the O2 sensor will get all messed up by the water, and i cant just buy a pre programed computer, the computer needs to know how the output is. How do I put the O2 sensor in to not have it get messed up readings by the water for cooling the exhaust??? Could I run dry exhaust with header wrap (3000 hp drag motor, the header with the wrap is only warm, not burning) or will it be to hot under the hatch?
Thanks for any info
