    I didn't say he would get 12s, BUT, it is affordable....

    With the vortecs you will still have the same block, as you would with the AFRs... but, the AFRs are aluminum...

    Edelbrock makes some good heads (as does TFS.... LB will vouch for them ).. (the E-Tec heads are just like vortecs, BUT flow a bit better, and with aluminum heads, you could get away with 91 octane fuel, with the same 10.4:1 CR)...

    Personally, I would run a blower, or turbo, or a proper squeeze setup.... but if #s matching really matters, then I would go stroker.... no one would ever know you had a big crank.... and the added cubes will get you some torque...

    Lighten your car, get a proper tranny-rearend setup, play with your pinion angle (-5 deg. sounds good )... get some tires.... there is no reason you can't run 12s

    Very true..... but for the price and flow numbers I got outa my Vortec heads ported with bigger valves it was definitely more bang for my buck than buying aluminum heads.

    Yes, but.... they are aluminum (costly).... that's all I mean...

    Also... you can tell if you have alum's... although the vortecs are also a dead giveaway (the 3 lil teeth on the side of the head lol)...

    TFS Alum's are what I'm gonna run on my 331 if that makes things easier...

    Nope lol......... the only suspension mods I have done are just cosmetic not even racing wise. In the front I have a 1 inch drop spring w/ stiffer shocks, and the back I have a 2 inch lowering block. All I did was slap on some stickies, tune the **** outa it and make a few passes and finally got it dialed in where I wanted it. But I don't really race it anymore, it is too easy to break honestly. I just drive it as much as possible now and enjoy all the other nice **** I did to it. Here I'll post some more pics and some specs on it since I think you missed the other thread where I put up all the info on it

    Smooth blazer! like the way it sits and the rims are real nice! Did you even polish your accumulator?-looks good. I always love cowl hoods. I miss looking over an old trans am of mines 2 3/4" cowl (and i could see the crome air clear housing and strut tower brace...uhhhhh).

    Bet that clone jumps off the line! Nice rims on that one too (ZO6).

    Thanks bro.....yes I polished the accumulator

    Since those pics I got rid of the dumbo mirrors on the blazer and paint matched a few items.


    The Syclone **** near breaks your neck if you launch with enough boost lol. yea I love the ZO6 Replica rims. That is my favorite part of the truck

    The 1st part sounds good but you shoulda gone with a turbo or atleast a Procharger

    Prochargers = HORRIBLE customer service.... although they are money on the track...

    Vortech = best bang for $ on street/strip IMO...

    But, you and LB both love your turbos... fags...

    It's not our fault we know which form of forced induction is better and produces more power

    Too complex imho. Stick with a procharger and forget about the lag. I dont know about vortechs...for some reason i never took a liking to them

    I really don't like Vortech.....Procharger's make more power and every kit comes with an intercooler setup and the head units are actually made to blow through them.

    A turbo kit on a vette is definitely too complex as there is very little room to work with. A procharger kit would be plenty along with some minor work on the internals he could be in the 12's easily on low boost #'s

    Oh and a properly sized turbo will produce ZERO lag. I promise you that...... my blazer has no turbo lag, it spools to full boost @ 23-2400 RMPs. You can't beat the torque or constant boost numbers a turbo produces. With a centrifigural blower when you shift you lose half your boost in between shifts. With the turbo it stays in full boost constantly even through shifts.



    I used to have a procharger kit on my blazer before the turbo. Then I blew up the motor and decided to go with a turbo instead So I know how both world's work and I prefer to the turbo any day

    Procharger has horrible customer service though...
    And up here, that's what you need...

    Vortech has always been a good brand for my boys....
    I often consider goin old school and slappin on a Weiand, KenneBell, or other type of roots blower, cutting the hood, and showing off
