That's great stuff.
I am leaning more towards a budget build...
I had a co worker that combined a lot of P&G and good driving, and got 28 out of a 1st gen, with 5/6 static dropped, regular cab, short bed, running aftermarket 17" wheels.
I am thinking similar truck, with headers and good, low restriction exhaust, K&N using stock air box (decent design, cold air forced. Could easily be moved for hot air in winter), throttle body spacer (TBI seem to like the spacers), good tune up / ignition. Run a set of ZQ8 wheels, with reasonable tires, and minimize the overall weight where possible.
