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

What seats did you use?

**GMC-YA68** · 10-05-2015, 12:29 PM

He's got 2nd row 07+ tahoe/yukon/burb seats as the fronts, and factory 3rd row from the same style/year.

jjzepplin · 10-05-2015, 09:42 PM

Nice family! Bet the ice cream is still real cold by the time you get get home. Maybe even colder!

Well of course you do. Don't be ridiculous!

skorpioskorpio · 10-07-2015, 08:39 PM

So just curious, does the body creak and pop like crazy with that much HP? I have to imagine it puts a serious twist into the body.

You're making the assumption that I can hear creaking and popping of the body over turbo whistle and wastegate screamer pipe.

Sources say it looks like it is going down the road on an RTI ramp 24/7...

Wasted Income · 10-14-2015, 01:44 PM

You would think so, but it's actually very solid and stable at speed.

RocketChevy56 · 10-15-2015, 08:43 AM

Have you seen the frame under this thing? I have a hard time believing this thing wouldn't kill it on an autocross track. The braces have braces. No wiggles, all giggles

cheyennesr · 12-16-2015, 11:34 AM

hello im building a 6.0 with 70mm turbo i was gonna use stock ecm from the 2002 2500 and the hp tuner i have but now im want know if i should use the holley dominator looks user friendly does it self learn under boost ? would you recomend this for mine ? thanks love the blazer great job it keeps me inspired.

Wasted Income · 12-16-2015, 04:54 PM

Thanks for the compliments.

Lets make one thing clear before we go any further....all of the "self tuning" ECUs out there are not anywhere close to self tuning. All they do is use wideband O2 feedback to bring the fuel or VE table in line. You still need to know how and why to manipulate the timing table, start-up fueling, acceleration enrichment, etc.

That said, yes, the Holley will "learn" the fueling requirements in boost, and automatically stores that. It also uses a real-time closed loop fueling that can and has saved several engines when voltage drops, fuel pumps start to die, etc by cranking up the injector pulse to meet the desired AFR.
