The Ranger would actually be a better choice as it has a smaller frontal area (important for LSR) but the S10 has the cage and many other features that are needed to be a safe and legal race truck. I couldn't afford to start from scratch with a bare Ranger.

Oh I hear ya. I ended up scrapping the Ranger for a DJ5/CJ5 frankenJeep.

Between here and superturbo you should be able to turn it up a bit, I believe the closest to accurate number is 150hp/250tq by tweaking stock parts. A newer turbo, advanced timing, modified PCs, swapping or building manifolds, removing stuff like the vac pump/PS/AC, etc. can theoretically net some more-no one has stepped up to a dyno yet.
