[06alum5.3]

new guy here from north carolina. i was looking for an SS for about 3 months when a year ago i came across this 06 trailblazer LT with an aluminum 5.3. i would have loved an SS but for $10k with 65000 miles i couldn't pass it up.

Mods include:belltech drop kit, hids,tinted tails, 5%tint, ls1 efans, 160t-stat, pcm4less fwi, slp longtubes w/3inch custom y and 3inch exhaust,corvette servo w/ transgo hd2 kit and trans cooler, custom tune by RPM in Garner, NC
laid down 285 rwhp/315 rwtq with above mods

i have been looking at this site for a year now learning alot and thought i would join now and put my 2 cents in.

You should be breaking the 14's with the current mods. Have you taken it to the track yet?

 

[06alum5.3]

no track runs yet. truck is still wearing the stock 17 inch wheels w/ 245 bfg rugged trails. in other words i have no grip, it will chrip the tires going to 2nd at WOT on dry pavement. my 60fts at the track will be horrible until i get some DR's so i havent even gone

truck is really dirty

 

[Sleezy E]

I'm interested in seeing what times it runs. What gears does it have in it?

Mines got the 342's... slows me down :ranting:

 

[06alum5.3]

yeah i know what you mean i got 3.42 also and with the stock converter it does not get off the line well. it will get a SS rearend down the road when i build a new trans and take the transfer case out.

You should take off the roof rack.

I like the CME. Had a 2002 Camaro SS with them. :cheers1:

 

[06alum5.3]

the truck needs some 20" black SS wheels. i have to finish the exhaust its going to be in the same spot with four double-walled tips corvette style.
