10's on $5,000 ?

Anything faster than 11.5 must have a cage that must be tied to the frame so you will be adding weight if you get to that point. Other than the bumpers the truck is going to be difficult to drop weight compared with a car and no $$$ for glass parts and a large amount weight in the truck is in the frame. Your going to add a BB and 8 3/4 probably a larger radiator, I think your going to be closer to 4K than you think. Hell you can't get rid of full sized gas tank, every big HP 440 I've had got 3 to 5 mpg.....:)
