    speed freak.heres a reasonably cheap way to get that truck out of the hole and i promise it will work.there is a web site that i will find for you that sells boxed in adjustable trailing arms.this will allow you to set that pinion angle down like i was talking about.they sell for around 300.00.the boxed in part just makes them stonger and more ridged.if you running big tires on the back, make sure that your rake or angle of your truck is not too high from the back,because this will make it harder for weight tranfer to the back.weight transfer on a truck is especially important because there is no weight in the back.alot of trucks have hopping problems. i still recommend a pinion snubber to help with the weight transfer.posi is nice.but really wide tires will work just fine,because of the huge road contact. as far as hp out of your motor.it sounds like your off to a good start.make sure your airfilter is kept up.k@n is good.this is important,set your timing to get as much advance as you can without any ping over 3000 rpm. this is your total advance.which is where it counts.get a second stage shift kit for your turbo which is pretty cheap,and always run good gas{premium} you will notice a difference.from there just keep adding when you can........have fun...torino ps.learning how your truck reacts.and how to get rolling without much spin will be a definate asset when your up against those firebirds...
