OK...milestone time......

Took the Blazer on it's maiden voyage over the weekend.

Put 250 miles on it and I wish it was summer!

Ran great, only one little hiccup when a plug wire came off but other than that it's everything I have been waiting for and then some.

The FlowMaster 40's are still louder than I like but it sounds really cool when it's loping at idle....so not sure what to do there yet....

Running a little rich but I prefer that for break in I suppose....so I'll run it a little more and get it leaned out.

It made 285 horses at the wheels with 340 pounds of torque.

A long way from my DuraMax but I'm happy with it and it will get better as it loosens up.

Now....bumpers, winch, sliders, interior.....still lots to do but next summer is gonna take to long to get here....

Some photos I took of it all cleaned up.

I'm SO happy!!!!
