Hold your HORSES! Chevy is already working out how to fit the 4.6 (small
V-8) into the S-10 Xtreme, to compete against the likes of the R/T.

This season at NYIRP, there was a guy with a 350 V8 in an S-10.
We Daks were running anywhere from low to high 14's, but the best this
guy could manage was a 15.8 or so because he couldn't hook up. :-) It
sounded intimidating at the line, but we went by him every time. :-)
On the other hand, earlier in the season, there was an innocuous looking
S-10 with a 350 V8 and giggle gas. This guy *did* figure out how
to hook up though, and was running in the 12's.
