***UPDATE***
Wow, all I can say is this is one freekin blast of a vehicle to drive around. The "big eyes" look you get when opening the hood to let others check out exactly whats under the hood is epic lol. I will definetly have some driving videos soon.
I have a few things to repair after driving it for a little. Junkyard water pump starting leaking from weep hole and 1 fan relay took a dump.
But anyways, here's a pretty good idle video (Finally nailed my idle tune down) of how she runs now since I've started figuring out HPTuners.

Buuuuut, I would expect a comment like that from somebody that *had* a solid roller 414 fully built that only made 550rwhp @ 8k. LMAO, feels good that my dirt dobber turbo kit with a $540 junkyard motor and $360 turbo matched that and more than likely will produce way more power. Oh and it drives like stock.

Never said I was a great welder, everything works great so far. To this day I still talk to the owner of my old SS and those dirt dobbin welds are still holding up fine.

What I meant by *had* - You had it built = lack of skill. haha
Anyways, there is no contest you have money and don't mind spending it. I would expect a $11,000 Engine to beat me up any direction known to man. Congrats!

I felt 9,12,17psi boost all day today and I know how fast this thing is, so I might take up that bet one day if my junkyard crap holds together haha

As far as the blazer goes, I think this weekend I'm gonna go pull a 8.8 out of a explorer to bolt under it. Then gonna order some axles with correct bolt pattern or have my buddies at FTW Gear and Axle make me some so I can continue to use the stock wheels. I did order some 28x11.5x16 ET Streets for it. Ain't no lie, on 17psi this thing is stupid man lol. Hard to properly datalogg due to all the tire spin, but on a 3rd gear pull from 78mph - 136mph feels crazy. When I get her all done and hooking, I would like to see how it stacks up.

Lol good times for sure son. Hated to sell some of my rides, but when the money is offered, sometimes I gotta part ways. Man I miss old Zach, RIP brother.
