This was a awesome project but with all the modifications, you might as well had used a regular base Trailblazer. Why cut up and modified a perfectly good Trailblazer SS, to install another LS V8 and T56 transmission?
that's exactly what I was going to say, why did you take a beautiful SS to strip it and there's nothing left of an SS except the SS badge on the steering wheel... a Trailblaser or an Envoy with a basic 5.3 would have been perfect does the job and is less "rare" than a nice clean SS like this.
Fr. But it makes sense if I remember this correctly- The base model and EXT TBs, Envoy, and the 5 other cars on the GMT360 platform have the front axle go through the oil pan. So you'd have to track down a 2wd TB that isn't beat to hell and back or redo the entire front end to either maintain or delete the 4wd system. Sorce- I own an 04 trailblazer LT, and I work on it myself. Anything to do with the front suspension is a pain in the ASS
The Chevrolet TrailBlazer SS also had some cousins that can be modified as well, such as the GMC Envoy of the time, as well as the Buick Rainier, Saab 9-7X Aero, and the Isuzu Ascender. The 5.3 L Vortec V8 engines are nothing to sneeze at as well.
Wow I wish I would've saw this sooner. Did you guys really throw away the interior I can really use it I'm putting together a 92 blazer sport with the 5 spd manual and that interior is too perfect. Anyways AWSOME build I'm literally building my buddies 07 tbss so watching this is entertaining af😊😊 great vid!!
Problem is you did all that work and didnt add any steering angle.... thats why you kept spinning out, there wasnt enough steering angle to keep from spinning out and being able to bring it back when it gets real sideways.
I like watching these videos where everything just goes right... that's classic tv... when people put things together looking like an easy job when it actually took almost infinite hours of elbow grease, sweat, blood and tears love the content I'd rice that mf up even more than that tho ayy lmao
529 hp from a crate 6.0 that has over 400hp supposedly holley ecu and blower only made that through a 6speed someone cant tune or something else is going on
@@amagedoncorelone lol truth be told I expected more power myself, but also looked like they used stock intake and fuel rails, I think if those were also upgraded the power would increase that much more
This was quite a tone-deaf build to the requirements, needs and overall sub-culture of drifting, especially if you're just learning. Regardless it was entertaining to watch. Hood tutorial was the most useful part of this. 3/10
What changed about the host's personalities ? All the bouncing around and fake enthusiasm. It was fine the way it was. I know these guys actually enjoy working on cars, no need for the tiktok level cheese. Also, when you are putting parts back on a car alongside new parts, could you have an intern run them through a parts washer or the sandblast cabinet and maybe a rattlecan makeover? Looks unnecessarily cheap
exactly my thoughts. I hoped we were over the 2000s fake car show hosts. It was so much mor enjoyable to watch without the weird interview shots. Please go back to the calm enjoyable fabrication show we had before.
You’re on the wrong page if you’re worried about some damn tire smoke Mr retired Francis cooper. Jesus yeah burnouts are causing the ozone layer to deteriorate not all the chemical plants and bullshit the government pumps out huh? Get the hell out of here you boomer.
I hope what was said on the dyno was caught by everyone that quotes 15-20% drivetrain loss. He implied 70 hp drivetrain loss. This is only 10-12%. The 15-20% is based on a stock drivetrain. Whatever THAT figure is will remain close to constant regardless of upgrades........
