Roadster Shop<\/a> created this 1968 Chevy C10 Stepside with a supercharged 376 ci LS3 V8. Wegner Motorsports build the motor using forged pistons and rods, custom-ground camshaft, Telling oil pump, ported heads, and 2.9 L Whipple supercharger. It produces 1000 hp (735 kW) on E85 fuel running a HP Tuners CORE ECU. Behind the motor is a Bowler-prepped 8HP90 eight-speed automatic transmission with a Bluetooth bump-shift module. A Driveshaft Shop carbon fiber driveshaft sends power to a 9-inch rear end. Roadster Shop swapped the factory frame for their Fast Track chassis<\/a> which features forged knuckles, RS SV Fox coilovers, and 4-link rear suspension. It stops using Baer six-piston front brakes and four-piston rear brakes. Covering those are Forgeline OE1 wheels wearing Nitto NT555 tires.
