any motor has potential,just some more than others.most of your powers in the head.Pull it off and port it with some boost and you'd have a quick truck but im with you,if i was lookng for alot more power then id swap motors

you're an idiot. Were talking about an S10, not a cobalt. Thus we're not talking about an ecotec, and ZZP doesnt make a blower kit for non-ecotec I4s.

as i initially said, unless you're planning boost for the motor, then dont bother. Swap motors.
