LQ9 Build for 1972 Blazer

[OldCreek]

My LQ9 setup in my K/5 is all stock. It feels good/good enough for me. It's relatively fast and sounds great. With 4" lift springs, 35" tires and the top down I really don't feel the need for more speed. There's plenty of torque steer and a little twist when the setup downshifts and kicks in hard. The MagnaFlows scream when this happens.

It's actually a little unsettling when you're not prepared for it….
