Wow, those are impressive times. Is yours RWD or AWD?

Nice truck, but I have a feeling something new/improved is in the horizon soon, from GM for the Trailblazer!
Another reason I decided against the TBSS. The TB has been out since what, 2002? I figure something new and improved can't be t hat far off.

Should have some times in mine here shortly. Its a H/C and full exhaust TBSS. It runs REALLY good. I raced a 99SS M6 with all bolt-ons, F-13 and a tune from a dig and lost by 2-3 cars. We were both doing 130mph at this time.

Trailblazer SS's are badass. I would LOVE an AWD version but I just can't afford one right now. I think I could take a stock one with my Impala though. A modded one probably not but I think at speed aerodynamics come into play which is evident by looking at the speeds they trap at. Even the one posted above that ran 12.8 only trapped 104mph. A badass truck hell ya, but still a truck.

Last fall with just a vector tune and home made intake ran back to back 13.6's at 100 mph. Track got crowded and didn't get a third run in, wanted to let it cool down and try again, but it didn't happen. Opening day for Milan MI (aboout 40 min away) is April 5, plan on going back up.
