A good friend of mine has just finished another phase on his TB SS. His previous setup consisted of 402 stroker, stall, gears, built 4L65, and a 150 shot. It made 692rwhp with this setup, and its maiden track voyage produced two 6.9X's at 100mph. He started spraying close to 100ft, and obviously traction was a major issue. The 1.69 short times weren't helping, and that was all motor. With some minor changes to attempt to help traction, he ran it again in the on the 1/4 mile where it ran 11.01 @ 128mph.

He just added a direct port setup, changed the camshaft, and added headers. He just got it tuned and made 800rwhp/680rwtq, on a 250hp shot. Also added are a custom set of Bogart D10 wheels...........17x5 up front, and 17x10's in the rear. Some 390/40-17 M&H DR's out back fixed the traction problem.

He ran this new setup in Memphis a few weeks ago at the LSX Shootout, where he posted his best time so far before getting kicked off the track...........10.63 @ 129mph!!

Direct port......

Stay tuned in the next few weeks for some hopeful mid 10 second passes. His goal is to tote the front wheels. :D FWIW all work was done by www.ryansperformance.com
(delete the link if necessary mods, not sure if it violates the rules......definately not trying to get a free plug)

I like it very clean and very fast but not my bag (to nice to take in a big ol puddle of mud), very nice though.

WOW, that is nice!!

I like all the video's on the website, didn't see the trailblazer on there though, are they going to get a video of it on the track?

One of the guys from that shop is working on a compilation. That shop took that TB SS and this Camaro SS...........which also left TN with a new LSX record.......fastest nitrous powered LSX. About 2 weeks after the LSX Shootout, the record was broken by another car. I'll post the video as soon as it gets posted.

I heard about the TB SS getting that reacord a few weeks ago shortly after that weekend. Wasnt there a bunch of other LSx records broken that weekend? Thats awesome.

My next truck will be a TB SS.

i think they look sharp i have only saw a couple on the streets

They look nice but I dont like the looks of the one above with the drag slicks on it, just looks weird in my opinion. I am sure they are awesome to drive. I would be happy with just the 5.3L V8 TrailBlazer, then I of course could add some stuff on later on.

From what I heard, I think the more 'major' records were broken. Of course my buddies at RPM took home the record for the fastest nitrous LSX, but I believe the Ohio Boys took home the fastest stock suspension LSX 4th gen too......

i think im in love....lol

That is a beautiful peice. i like the numbers for a TB.

dude, i love the TB SS!!! one of my friends has one and it is kick ass. Its so fast, i wish the regular blazers were faster. :)

cool site

Yeah, those are nice cars! i would prob get one.

The latest record to the best of my knowledge is a 10.32 @ 130 mph he ran at rockingham on dec 1 2007. I was there with my yellow cobalt ss/sc with my car club DSLSJA.

SUCH A NICE TRUCK! Thats my favorite SUV.. nice mods & very clean!

Not a big fan of the styling (not my style) but DAMN...you can't argue with those times and motor lol. 10.63!?! That's insane! Very nice truck.

EDIT: Just realized someone necroposted...this was from way back in 2007 lol. I hate necro posting when the OP hasn't been around for 2 years

I know the feeling... let's lay this one to rest shall we?

Happens from time to time...
