Thread: Blazer

Do you update? *goes and checks deimos build thread*

Buddy of mine has a stock ('93 if I remember right) K5 Blazer with the 5.7 in it. He was always wanting to race me when I was driving my dads old 3.1 Lumina around (when I still had the learners permit) but now that I've got the GP I keep asking him to a race but he keeps declining. I'm not sure who would actually be on the losing end, but either way I'd love to line 'em up.
To go off Frashcy though, the SS Trailblazers are sweet. I wouldn't try to take one of those with my car lol.

friend of mine has a gmc typhoon that ****er is quick

My 92 Jimmy has the Vortec 4.3. It's sooooo slow. I bet my mom's Kia Sportage could take it in a race *gets idea that mother would beat his ass for*

What about a GMC Syclone or Typhoon, those came with the Vortec 4.3 from the factory.

Those are turboed 4.3's

Sshhh

Had a 4.3 Dropped Blazer all through highschool. You could roast the **** out of the tires. Best part of the thing. Sold it at 220,000 miles still running. They move decent too for what they are. There no GTP tho thats for damn sure. Oh my sweet sweet blaze... Now thats a good backseat let me tell you whhhhat. Front seat wasnt bad either. Roof held up decent too. Its the hood thats weak

ya those typhoons are also AWD as well

My mom has a 98 Blazer, Vortec 4300. The thing is as slow as the day is long. It sucked driving it while my car was in the shop last winter

My zr2 had 170whp by the time I was done with it. Efan, cai, catback, tb mod, tune and msd wires/tune up. Stock zr2's usually make 140whp. The drivetrain sucks the life out of the engine. However the extra power really made a difference on and off the road.


EDit- my point was they can be low 15 second monsters. Lol

The Syclones and Typhoons are the shiz. IIRC it was the Syclone that could beat the '91 Corvette down the 1/4 mile (13.6s vs 13.9s). Not many trucks can claim that feat.

just realized that the op hasn't commented on this thread besides the first post

3.8 dude

i was kinda dissapointed on how close it was

and i believe the 4.3 has 190hp and 250tq

Should it have been that close? Btw he is only 2wd too
