Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
Jeff, it was really nice to meet you at HRPT. Sorry that I couldn't run with you guys the next day, the rain kept me from replacing that fuel pump in a timely manner. Hopefully we will get another chance to have the Blazers pose together.

Good to meet you too! Would have been fun running with another Blazer for sure. You probably wouldn't have liked our pace...we definitely took our time getting to St. Louis. lol.

Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
My buddy just picked up a Mustang MD-500 dyno and opened a dyno shop in here town. We had a dyno day on saturday, so I threw it back on the rollers and leaned on it a bit more.

Made 625 hp / 630 tq at 14 lbs of boost. Nailed it and kept it pinned till the rev limiter at 6900. lol. I'm pretty happy with that. Made 15 more hp that a supercharged Viper that made 720 hp at a dyno across town.

Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
Yea it's a lot of fun. I must have the suspension and tire combo dialed in though, because she hooks and books.

Here's the blown viper. Put down 615.


Here's my other bud's Viper T/A. I think it has headers and a tune. Made 500ish if I recall.

Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
One more vid. These are actually the first few pulls. It got all rowdy and tagged the spark cut limiter....had it in manual tap shift mode, and didn't realize it was in 1st gear, not 3rd. lol. Gave the audience a good scare with some flames out the downpipe and wastegate dump.

Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
Hit the dyno again last night. Decided to finally turn up the wick a bit. Ended up at 23 lbs of boost and soft timing.

Oh yea! Was still making huge gains for every bit of boost and timing I threw at it. I think it has 1000 rwhp in it. Didn't feel like pushing that far last night. It was up 200 hp and 300 ft-lb from the last time I dyno'd...lol

I figured she had some left. 4 digits would be some serious bragging rights. I'm sure you'll get froggy one day and turn it full tilt.. ya know... just to see
