Any update? I'm waiting for it to cool down to take the Trailblazer back to the track. Earlier this year with 2500DA it ran 13.9 @ 95. Gotta make this pig at least quicker than the Impala was!

Nothing special. Tune, intake, and cat-back. I'm debating on stall and efans being under warranty. This turd is a dog off the line with the stock stall. But she's been running good, but with 80+ days over 100 degrees it's been too damn hot to run.

I went to the track as well, beautiful weather. All i could get was a 13.98 at 101mph with a 2.17 60'. Kind of dissapointed as it is slower than last year, and I have a lewtune since then. Then again the track Im at sucks at traction and i didn't do anything for weight transfer. I will be going to a better track in 2 weeks and i will empty out the trunk and gas tank, and cable the rear up and see what I can do. Next step might be dr's if I can get my trans figured out, still seems to be something wrong.

hey GXPmattyjGXP do you feel any vibration on the wheels with those MT's? Mine vibrate a crap load past 60 mph. I've gone to the tire shop to have the rims checked and were ok.

working fine man see i took a paint marker and marked a straight line from the rim onto the tire so i could see if its spinning on the rim which it was so then you have to drill the rim and put screws through it to stop it from moving they say min requirement is 9in but you don't have to have 9in i wanted to stay stock width also when you stay with an 8in it brings the tire in so you lose a little tread...but its working fine for me...
