Cool 72 Blazer 6.0L 80e

Another Eric Wise creation. Texas speed 588 lift 228 on a 112LSA.

Worked on the tune today as it was almost 65 degrees outside. Going to tweak it a bit more but fuel is within 3% across the board. Gets squirrelly real fast. Eric said it's much faster than all his other builds.

Pretty odd weather for KC in Jan. Felt kind of naked riding around without a top on. Oops that sounded weird.

Most of the build pics got destroyed by a PC virus so this is all I have to post for now.

After driving it some more with good tires on it, it doesn't seem as quick. I think the old hard tires would break loose easier and made it seem faster, the '33 is probably quicker. Does need some more tweaking, it still dies when coming to a stop.

Pics got destroyed by PC virus. So unless Eric can retrieve them, there is none. Sorry.

I have some build pics, but the majority of them, the building of the frame, were lost to the virus. Ironically, I was going to start a build thread when I put the SD card in my computer and that's when the virus encrypted all of them. I have a few that I uploaded from my phone beforehand, but they are mostly of when I got it, which I'm glad of because you can see how nice it was to begin with. The rest of the pics are from the day the body was put back on until now. I may do a short thread on it when I'm done and get some time.
