i have been pondering mods for 96+ s10s myself for a build I am doing this summer and here is a copy of everything I plan on doing
Stage 1:
-Suspension/wheels
-3/5" drop w/ wheel alignment
-lighter mooncap styled rims
-thinner tires
-low rolling resistance tires
Stage 2:
-Motor/driveline/electric
-elctric radiator fan swap
- gas mileage exhaust
-warm air intake
-5th gear swap if possible
-rear end gear swap
-low viscosity oil
-electric water pump
-deep cycle battery
- 4 cyl diesel swap or turbo
-gas mileage chip
-block heater
-led lights
-aluminum driveshaft
-egr replaced/cleaned
Stage 3:
-Aerodynamics
-passenger mirror delete with internal mirror
-driver mirror swapped to more aero design
-front air dam
- grill block
-antennal removal and hole blocked
-passenger winshield wiper removed full setup
-driver windshield wiper lower profiled and longer
-aero side skirts
-96~97 clear headlight bucket covers
-seal holes in frontal area
-mud flap removal
-front wheel arch gap fill
-bumpers front/rear
-rear wheel skirts
-carbon fiber hood with scoop
-hitch boat tail
-tanneu cover or the aero-shell
Stage 4:
-Guages
-scanguage or ultraguage
-vacuum guage not a cheepy
Stage 5:
-weight
-bedliner removal
-spare tire in bed mount removed
-ac removal
-remove rear seat
-plexi glass windows
-fiberglass fenders

Stage 6:

all this coupled with hypermiling techniques should produce very decent numbers
