Default Edelbrock Vic Jr installed

I thought I'd post this up so my absense from the races today might be excused...


I bought a Trailblazer throttle body last fall, right before my Radix'd stock 6.0 let go on me. I was determined to still use that throttle body so now I finally accomplished that goal I used it with a Vic Jr on my H2. It took about 10 hours total time to install, but I wasn't rushed and had some issues to resolve along the way. The end result was well worth the time involved. It fired right up first try and has no error codes. No emissions equipment was deleted during this installation.


4 pages of pics from the install are hosted here


THANKS to...


Edelbrock for making a great product and sending me the missing fuel rail stands when that dirtbag from "Straightline Performance" blew me off for about a month!

John at Speartech for his great adapter harness (and for his support on my 1991 Vette TPI to LSx conversion!).

Aaron at Intake elbows for the great 90mm elbow.

Intakehoses.com for the 4 inch silicone hose and tubing.

Fred Beans parts for the great deal on the TAC module.

Summit Racing for having all the little parts and working through the hose connections with me!

Corvette Forum "Parts for sale" section for a smoking deal on the Trailblazer Throttle body.

It takes a lot of people to pull this stuff off. I ported my own intake, assembled all the hoses, and did the install alone... but lots of information was given to me by the people above over the last couple of months.

Cory, considering few belive me when I tell them about your H2, could you post this up in sponsor feedback (sans non-sponsors of course)?

And daym, nice build...looks like you didn't have a spec of dirt anywhere and can't wait for some eye-bugging kill stories

I thought this post was long dead.... I posted similar comments in the performancetrucks.net side as that was the real audience for the truck work. I posted it in the NW section since a few are interested from time to time.

Thanks for the new comments and appreciation... its been a "long" hard trip in a short time on that truck... and its not even close to done
